Looks good about this mm part.
Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
off-topic: shrink_slab() was introduced for page/[id]-cache scan balancing
at first. now it still have hardcorded shrinker->nr calculation for slab
although now lots another subsystem using it. shrinker->seeks seems no
intuitive knob. probably we should try generalization it in future. but
it is another story. I think this patch provide good first step.
delta = (4 * scanned) / shrinker->seeks;
delta *= max_pass;
do_div(delta, lru_pages + 1);
shrinker->nr += delta;
Thanks.
