From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/list_lru: introduce list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() Provide list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() and let it behave like list_lru_walk_one() except that it locks the spinlock with spin_lock_irq(). This is used by scan_shadow_nodes() because its lock nests within the i_pages lock which is acquired with IRQ. This change allows to use proper locking promitives instead hand crafted lock_irq_disable() plus spin_lock(). There is no EXPORT_SYMBOL provided because the current user is in-kernel only. Add list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() which acquires the spinlock with the proper locking primitives.
