From 17975d10a80e2457e5237f87fa58a7943031983e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Boyang Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2022 22:15:11 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Try invalidate disk caches last when out of memory Every heap grow will cause all disk caches invalidated which decreases performance severely. This patch moves disk cache invalidation code to the last of memory squeezing measures. So, disk caches are released only when there are no other ways to get free memory.
