I get this problem and the slab cache using all the memory (48GB)
even with mcafee off. I attached a screenshot of atop showing some numbers.
When you say 'mcaffee off', do you mean the kernel module has never been
loaded, or just the userspace isn't running ?
if it's happening with mcaffee never having been loaded, slabtop when its in that
state might be interesting.
