三条指令：
sync
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
执行完这三条指令后通过free -m命令查看，free可用内存马上增多，buff/cache列值变小，说明内存被释放了，但是不能总是手动的执行这三条指令，所以最后写了一个shell脚本，开启Linux定时任务crond，每天早上检查一次free内存，当小于4G时执行这三条命令（注：系统内容20G）。
注意：在执行这三条命令之前一定要先执行sync命令（描述：sync 命令运行 sync 子例程。如果必须停止系统，则运行sync 命令以确保文件系统的完整性。sync 命令将所有未写的系统缓冲区写到磁盘中，包含已修改的 i-Node、已延迟的块 I/O 和读写映射文件）
解决方案（手动）
1. 修改/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches，释放Slab占用的cache内存空间（参考drop_caches的官方文档）：
- Writing to this will cause the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory, causing that memory to become free.
- To free pagecache:
- * echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- To free dentries and inodes:
- * echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:
- * echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- As this is a non-destructive operation, and dirty objects are notfreeable, the user should run "sync" first in order to make sure allcached objects are freed.
- This tunable was added in 2.6.16.
注意：在执行这三条命令前先执行sync命令
解决方案（自动）
1、编写shell定时任务脚本freemem.sh
- #! /bin/sh
- used=`free -m | awk ‘NR==2‘ | awk ‘{print $3}‘`
- free=`free -m | awk ‘NR==2‘ | awk ‘{print $4}‘`
- echo "===========================" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
- date >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
- echo "Memory usage before | [Use：${used}MB][Free：${free}MB]" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
- if [ $free -le 4000 ] ; then
- sync && echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- sync && echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- used_ok=`free -m | awk ‘NR==2‘ | awk ‘{print $3}‘`
- free_ok=`free -m | awk ‘NR==2‘ | awk ‘{print $4}‘`
- echo "Memory usage after | [Use：${used_ok}MB][Free：${free_ok}MB]" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
- echo "OK" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
- else
- echo "Not required" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
- fi
- exit 1
2、使用crontab -e命令编辑当前用户的crontab
- 0 6 * * * /usr/local/tomcat/sztFileFront/bin/freemem.sh
定时任务编写参考：http://www.jb51.net/article/15008.htm
3、重启crond服务
- /sbin/service crond restart
4、查看crond服务是否重启成功
- /sbin/service crond status
最后，问题解决。我设定的定时任务是每天早上6点执行一次freemem.sh脚本。
