Re: dentry_cache using up all my zone normal memory -- also seen on 2.6.14-rc2

Just for kicks I tried with 2.6.14-rc2, and got the same behaviour. /proc/slabinfo gives the following two high-runners within a second of the oom-killer running:

dentry_cache 3894397 3894961 136 29 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 134307 134309 0 filp 1216820 1216980 192 20 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 60844 60849 0


The oom killer gave the following output:
