[PATCH RFC 04/10] mm: Split unregister_shrinker()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This and the next patches in this series aim to make
time effect of synchronize_srcu() invisible for user.
The patch splits unregister_shrinker() in two functions:

	unregister_shrinker_delayed_initiate()
	unregister_shrinker_delayed_finalize()

and shrinker users may make the second of them to be called
asynchronous (e.g., from workqueue). Next patches make
superblock shrinker to follow this way, so user-visible
umount() time won't contain delays from synchronize_srcu().
