How did you get a file that needed EOF block trimming to be disposed
of when the filesystem is frozen?

Part of freezing the filesystem is tossing all the reclaimable
inodes out of the cache, which means all the inodes that might
require EOF block trimming should have already been removed from the
cache before the freeze goes into effect....

Ah, no. Now go run a filesystem traversal over a filesystem with a
few tens of million files in it while the filesystem is frozen, and
what the dentry and inode cache grow and grow until you run out of
memory....

THe shrinker *needs* to run while the filesystem is frozen, but it
should not be tripping over files that need modification on
eviction. Working out how we got a file that required truncation
during eviction is the first thing to do here so we can then
determine if a) we should have caught it at freeze time, b) whether
it can be caught at freeze time, c) whether it can safely be skipped
during a freeze, or d) something else....

Cheers,

Dave.
