McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 11:58:51 -07:00 rcu: Stop shrinker loop The count and scan can be separated in time, and there is a fair chance that all work is already done when the scan starts, which might in turn result in a needless retry. This commit therefore avoids this retry by returning SHRINK_STOP.
