Hi,
The comment for struct shrinker in include/linux/mm.h says
"shrink...It should return the number of objects which remain in the
cache."
Please notice the word "remain".
In fs/mbcache.h, mb_cache_shrink_fn is used as the shrink function:
static struct shrinker mb_cache_shrinker = {
.shrink = mb_cache_shrink_fn,
.seeks = DEFAULT_SEEKS,
};
In mb_cache_shrink_fn, the return value for nr_to_scan > 0 is the
number of mb_cache_entry before shrink operation. It may because the
memory usage for mbcache is low, so the effect is not so obvious.
I think we'd better fix the return value issue.
Following patch is against 2.6.35-rc5. Please check it.
