Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] mm: shrinkers: add scan interface for shrinker debugfs
Date: Mon,  9 May 2022 11:38:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220509183820.573666-7-roman.gushchin@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220509183820.573666-1-roman.gushchin@linux.dev>

Add a scan interface which allows to trigger scanning of a particular
shrinker and specify memcg and numa node. It's useful for testing,
debugging and profiling of a specific scan_objects() callback.
Unlike alternatives (creating a real memory pressure and dropping
caches via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) this interface allows to interact
with only one shrinker at once. Also, if a shrinker is misreporting
the number of objects (as some do), it doesn't affect scanning.

 For each shrinker registered in the system a directory in **<debugfs>/shrinker/**
 is created. The directory's name is composed from the shrinker's name and an
 unique id: e.g. *kfree_rcu-0* or *sb-xfs:vda1-36*.
 
-Each shrinker directory contains the **count** file, which allows to trigger
