The sysctl is documented as This percentage value controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim the memory which is used for caching of directory and inode objects. So it can sensibly be used for dentries and inode, and for anything directly related like the nfs access cache (which is attached to inodes) and the nfs xattr cache. But the sunrpc cred cache scales with the number of active users, not the number of inodes/dentries. So I think this should simply "return number_cred_unused;". What do others think? NeilBrown
