Re: kswapd/tg3 issue

Thank you Arjan for advice

I had 5746, made it 8619.

Is that a good practice in general to have that value higher for a
server with lots of I/O including networking? (there is a RAID on that
system and 2 bonded gigabit interfaces) Is there any heuristic to decide
on that value ?

actually since this was networking...
you probably should bump the value in
/proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
a bit (like by 50%); that makes the kernel keep a bigger pool free for
emergencies/spikes...
That might be enough already if your system isn't swapping a whole lot.
