This is shrinker-defined. For instance, the super-block shrinker reads:
s->s_shrink.shrink = prune_super;
s->s_shrink.batch = 1024;
And then vmscan:
long batch_size = shrinker->batch ? shrinker->batch
: SHRINK_BATCH;
I am dealing too much with the super block shrinker these days, so I
just had that cached in my mind and forgot to check the code and be more
explicit.
In any case, that was a numeric example that is valid nevertheless.
