Hi Bruce, yes please. That's a very simple change. The idea is just to count the ARC size as buffer/cache like the rest of the buffer/ cache. It doesn't really matter much how it's done exactly. I use git rarely enough that it always me hours to get back into it. I see that ksmtuned is actually upstream at RedHat so I suppose Proxmox will likely want to add the change as an extra debian patch. I think I should point out that I've not revisited that issue in years. And at the time the aim was to quickly address the issue for our specific use case. There may be better ways to address it these days. In particular, I'm not sure why the kernel doesn't account the ARC in buffers/cache in the first place, maybe that's customisable now. I've not had a look at that /proc/pressure thing referenced in the latest commit of ProcFSTools either. But in any case, the patch I submitted has proved to be an improvement for us.
