Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits. Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why unregister_shrinker() has become slower. We will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. Because there will be other readers after reverting the shrinker_srcu related changes, so it is better to restore to hold read lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred.
