The problem is unique to ext4. Regarding additional memory - no, I don't think
that would be a practical solution - kernel should be able to reclaim unused
stuff and it's a fault in ext4 driver that this isn't efficient.
I don't know about an easy workaround for this. Generally the more inodes you
have cached, the bigger the problem is. So you could purge inode cache
occasionally via "echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" but this is likely going to
ruin your performance so I don't think it's a useful workaround.
