That is why my suggestion would be not to touch mmapped pagecache
pages in the current pagecache limit code.  The limit should concern
only unmapped pagecache pages.

So you want to limit how much data the kernel caches for mysql
or postgresql, but not limit how much of the rpm database is
cached ?!

IMHO your proposal does the exact opposite of what would be
right for my systems :)
