Thanks Chad,
 
It seems that it will not return memory to applications, in fact, when the 
kernel/buffer cache  use the all memory, Applications use swap and The scan 
rate is very high :
sar -g 3 ==> 
pgscan/s =  5264

 
Now, I have this :
### top
 
last pid:  1107;  load avg:  1.76,  1.66,  1.63;       up 
2+18:47:21                                 13:37:46
703 processes: 700 sleeping, 3 on cpu
CPU states: 66.6% idle, 11.5% user, 21.9% kernel,  0.0% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 8192M phys mem, 2123M free mem, 16G total swap, 16G free swap

 
And 2123M free mem is incresing.
 
Is this any tools to know who use the big portion of RAM ?
 
Thanks in advance

No, this is normal behavior.  The buffer cache will grow to use all of
free memory.  It won't steal memory from applications, though, and it
will return memory to the system for applications that need it.
