Subject: Memory usage per memory zone

Hello,

I have a box where the oom-killer is killing processes due to running
out of memory in zone_normal. I can see using slabtop that the inode
caches are using up lots of memory and guess this is the problem, so
have cleared them using an echo to drop_caches.

I would quite like to not guess though - is it possible to use slabtop
(or any other way) to view ram usage per zone so I can pick out the
culprit?

(I am not subscribed to the list, please cc any replies to me.)

Thanks a lot.
