Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai: ``` One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash (or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim. ``` 2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked. Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a problem. The down_read_trylock() may become a perf hotspot with frequent calls to shrink_slab(). Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per cycle). We used to implement the lockless slab shrink with SRCU [2], but then kernel test robot reported -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [3], so we reverted it [4]. This commit uses the refcount+RCU method [5] proposed by Dave Chinner to re-implement the lockless global slab shrink. The memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch. For now, all shrinker instances are converted to dynamically allocated and will be freed by kfree_rcu(). So we can use rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() to ensure that the shrinker instance is valid. And the shrinker instance will not be run again after unregistration. So the structure that records the pointer of shrinker instance can be safely freed without waiting for the RCU read-side critical section. In this way, while we implement the lockless slab shrink, we don't need to be blocked in unregister_shrinker().
