Well its not clear what is meant by a file in the first place.
By file you mean disk space in contrast to ram based filesystems?
I think we could add a flag to

H.. I'd rather see where we are going. One other way of addressing
many of these issues is to allow large page sizes on the LRU which

In order to support defragmentation on the dentry cache we need to have
a determined object state at all times. Without a constructor the object
would have a random state after allocation.

So provide a constructor.

Creates a special function kmem_cache_isolate_slab() and kmem_cache_reclaim()
to support lumpy reclaim.
In order to isolate pages we will have to handle slab page allocations in
such a way that we can determine if a slab is valid whenever we access it
regardless of its time in life.
A valid slab
Add a flag RECLAIMABLE to be set on slabs with a defragmentation method
Clear the flag if a reclaim action is not successful in reducing the
number of objects in a slab.
The reclaim flag is set again when all objeccts of the slab have been
allocated and it is removed from the partial lists.

The dentry pruning for unused entries works in a straightforward way. It
could be made more aggressive if one would actually move dentries instead
of just reclaiming them.
