The tracepoint's nid should show what node the shrink happens on, the start tracepoint uses nid from shrinkctl, but the nid might be set to 0 before end tracepoint if the shrinker is not NUMA aware, so the tracing log may show the shrink happens on one node but end up on the other node. It seems confusing. And the following patch will remove using nid directly in do_shrink_slab(), this patch also helps cleanup the code.
