Hmm, let me try to explain with a simple example.. hopefully this makes sense.

Say you have a job with two bo's, A and B..  bo A is not backed with
memory (either hasn't been used before or was evicted.  Allocating
pages for A triggers shrinker.  But B is still on the
inactive_willneed list, however it is already locked (because we don't
want to evict B to obtain backing pages for A).

ahh, ok

eviction is a trickier thing to get right, I wouldn't blame you for
splitting that out into it's own patchset ;-)

You probably also would want to make it a thing that is opt-in for
drivers using the shmem helpers
