MemAvailable 高於預期

$ free -h
             total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          7.7Gi       4.5Gi       692Mi       305Mi       2.5Gi       2.6Gi
Swap:         2.0Gi        25Mi       2.0Gi

我的系統怎麼MemAvailable會這麼高？

當我閱讀核心程式碼時，我認為我們可以MemAvailable用一個類似的公式來近似MemFree + (Buffers + Cached - Shmem)/2 + SReclaimable/2。所以我猜 MemAvailable 會更像 1.8G。

我不認為 0.8G 的差異是由於 Reclaimable Slabs 部分，因為我只有 100M：

$ grep SReclaimable /proc/meminfo

這是如何MemAvailable計算的。您必須從中減去低水位/proc/zoneinfo線，但您的可用記憶體不足為奇；添加MemFree, Active(file),Inactive(file)並SReclaimable給出 3012956 KiB。
