conserve mode log

Hi, can someone explain which memory type is mentiond in conserver log message: 

logdesc="Kernel enters conserve mode" service=kernel conserve=on free="127983
pages" red="128000 pages" msg="Kernel enters conserve mode"

is it RAM, kernel or any other type of memory?

It's RAM. The system enters kernel conserve mode, when there is not enough low memory available to the kernel. In systems with > 1GB of memory, the system enters kernel conserve mode, when the available free memory goes below 200MB. It leaves kernel conserve mode, when avail memory goes > 300MB. When a system is in kernel conserve mode, all proxies are bypassed and you cannon change configuration.

 

Hope that answers your question.

Can you clear wat the difference between log in previous post with following:

<00107> proxy=worker sysconserve=exited total=7955 free=1602 marginenter=954
marginexit=1431

As far as I understand, 7955 - total RAM memory in Mb. 

Can anyone clear what means memory measured in pages in log message from the first post?
