Why do you even need this context argument? Reclaim is not doing anything smart about this, it would just call each call shrinker in turn. Do you not have an easily traversable list of mountpoints? Can you just make a list of them? It would be cheaper than putting a whole shrinker structure into them anyway. The main reason I would be against proliferation of dynamic shrinker registration would be that it could change reclaim behaviour depending on how they get ordered (in the cache the caches are semi-dependent, like inode cache and dentry cache). Unless there is a reason I missed, I would much prefer not to do this like this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
