Should there not be an rcu_barrier() right about here?
The shrinker_debugfs_remove() will wait for debugfs_file_put() to
return, so when running here, all shrinker debugfs operations have
been completed. And the slab shrink will hold the read lock of
shrinker_rwsem to traverse the shrinker_list, so when we hold the
write lock of shrinker_rwsem to delete the shrinker from the
shrinker_list, the shrinker will not be executed again.
So I think there is no need to add a rcu_barrier() here. Please let
me know if I missed something.
Thanks,
Qi
