Subject: How to reclaim inode pages on demand
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2005 16:52:52 +0100 (IST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0508081650160.26013@skynet> (raw)
Hi,
I am working on a direct reclaim strategy to free up large blocks of
contiguous pages. The part I have is working fine, but I am finding a
hundreds of pages that are being used for inodes that I need to reclaim. I
tried purging the inode lists using a variation of prune_icache() but it
is not working out.
Given a struct page, that one knows is an inode, can anyone suggest the
best way to find the inode using it and free it?
