We could make it extendable: #define BALLOON_SHRINKER_AFTER_PAGE_CACHE (1 << 0) #define BALLOON_SHRINKER_AFTER_KVM_MMU_CACHE (1 << 1) ... uint64_t conservative_shrinker; if ((conservative_shrinker | BALLOON_SHRINKER_AFTER_PAGE_CACHE) && global_node_page_state(NR_FILE_PAGES)) return 0; For now, we probably only need BALLOON_SHRINKER_AFTER_PAGE_CACHE.
