From [1]:

>> drop_caches

>> 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 not
>> freeable, the user should run `sync' first.
