Subject: mm/slab: extremly high slab cache problem
Hi,
I'am not used to ask but I have followed every piece of information I
could not find solution, so I'am trying here for help.
On one of my server, I have some memory/disk KV service,
Memory KV behave like memcached, ask for a big trunk of memory(10GB)
when initialized,
Disk Kv behave like leveldbd, its random read and sequential write,
and it frequently reads a lot files.
Memory are all alloced using libc malloc.
My KV server process do not consume a lot of memory as below (since
lack of memory, I have killed memory KV, leaving only disk KV, but
free memory still goes down):
:~$top
PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

20 0 2953m 2.4g 12m S 1 3.7 276:54.64 tair_server
BUT, my memory are gone.
$free -m

I can see slab consume lots of my memory, and it's unreclaimable.

Here is the slab info.
$slabtop -s c

I don't who and why consume such lots memory, and how to solve this.
Can this be an interval kernel error?
OR it's a glibc problem, it do'not return memory back to system, due
to frequently disk read?
thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated.
