Hello all,

I've only recently resumed running 2.1.x kernels on my NFS root'd test
machine, and to my surprise, it looks like 2.1.88/89-3 are *not* leaving
files in the page cache after the last user of the file/dentry disappears.
I suspect that the dentries/inodes are getting dumped too quickly. Is
anyone else seeing this behaviour on filesystems other than NFS?
