Subject: [PATCH 08/26] mm: directed shrinker work deferral
Date: Wed,  9 Oct 2019 14:21:06 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191009032124.10541-9-david@fromorbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191009032124.10541-1-david@fromorbit.com>

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Introduce a mechanism for ->count_objects() to indicate to the
shrinker infrastructure that the reclaim context will not allow
scanning work to be done and so the work it decides is necessary
needs to be deferred.

This simplifies the code by separating out the accounting of
deferred work from the actual doing of the work, and allows better
decisions to be made by the shrinekr control logic on what action it
can take.
