Hi all,

This patch series aims to make unregistration of super_block shrinker more
faster.

1. Background
=============

The kernel test robot noticed a -88.8% regression of stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
on commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make global slab shrink lockless"). More
details can be seen from the link[1] below.

[1]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202305230837.db2c233f-yujie.liu@xxxxxxxxx/

We can just use the following command to reproduce the result:

stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics-brief --ramfs 9 &

1) before commit f95bdb700bc6b:

2) after commit f95bdb700bc6b:

stress-ng: info:  [37676] dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs

stress-ng: info:  [37676] for a 60.10s run time:
stress-ng: info:  [37676]    1923.36s available CPU time
stress-ng: info:  [37676]       1.60s user time   (  0.08%)
stress-ng: info:  [37676]      39.66s system time (  2.06%)

stress-ng: info:  [37676] load average: 7.69 3.63 2.36
stress-ng: info:  [37676] successful run completed in 60.10s (1 min, 0.10 secs)

Is this comparison reversed?  It appears to demonstrate that
f95bdb700bc6b made the operation faster.

Maybe not. IIUC, the bogo ops/s (real time) bigger the better.

Thanks,
Qi
