Now nr_deferred is available on per memcg level for memcg aware shrinkers, so don't need
allocate shrinker->nr_deferred for such shrinkers anymore.

I'm trying to put my finger on it, but this seems wrong to me. If
memcgs are disabled, then prealloc_memcg_shrinker() needs to fail.
The preallocation code should not care about internal memcg details
like this.

	/*
	 * If the shrinker is memcg aware and memcgs are not
	 * enabled, clear the MEMCG flag and fall back to non-memcg
	 * behaviour for the shrinker.
	 */
	if (shrinker->flags & SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE) {
		error = prealloc_memcg_shrinker(shrinker);
		if (!error)
			return 0;
		if (error != -ENOSYS)
			return error;

		/* memcgs not enabled! */
		shrinker->flags &= ~SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE;
	}

	size = sizeof(*shrinker->nr_deferred);
	....
	return 0;
}

This guarantees that only the shrinker instances taht have a
correctly set up memcg attached to them will have the
SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE flag set. Hence in all the rest of the shrinker
code, we only ever need to check for SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE to
determine what we should do....

e.g. then this function can simply do:

{
	if (shrinker->flags & SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE)
		return unregister_memcg_shrinker(shrinker);
	kfree(shrinker->nr_deferred);
	shrinker->nr_deferred = NULL;
}

Cheers,

Dave.

Thanks. I see your point. We could move the memcg specific details
into prealloc_memcg_shrinker().

It seems we have to acquire shrinker_rwsem before we check and modify
SHIRNKER_MEMCG_AWARE bit if we may clear it.

Hi Dave,

Is it possible that shrinker register races with shrinker unregister?
It seems impossible to me by a quick visual code inspection. But I'm
not a VFS expert so I'm not quite sure.

If it is impossible the implementation would be quite simple otherwise
we need move shrinker_rwsem acquire/release to
prealloc_shrinker/free_prealloced_shrinker/unregister_shrinker to
protect SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE update.

Uh, if you have a shrinker racing to register and unregister, you've
got a major bug in your object initialisation/teardown code. i.e.
calling reagister/unregister at the same time for the same shrinker
is a bug, pure and simple.

Cheers,

Dave.
