- 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.
