min_free_kbytes

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2006-05-31 16:39

This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size.
