From: mayfield@saffron.cs.ucdavis.edu (Doug Mayfield) Subject: Shrinking buffer sizes... Date: 14 Aug 1992 05:45:12 GMT
Howdy LINUXers,
I have what may be a simple question: In the file
/usr/src/linux/fs/buffer.c there is a procedure called shrink_buffers
but I can not find the place where this function is invoked. Is this
a function that was left in for some other purpose. I was trying to
find a way to make the kernel stop using so many buffers and found
this function but no place where it is called.
Is there some reason for this or am I just not looking hard
enough??? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
