Subject: [PATCH RFC 02/10] mm: Make shrink_slab() lockless
The patch makes shrinker list and shrinker_idr SRCU-safe
for readers. This requires synchronize_srcu() on finalize
stage unregistering stage, which waits till all parallel
shrink_slab() are finished
Note, that patch removes rwsem_is_contended() checks from
the code, and this does not result in delays during
registration, since there is no waiting at all. Unregistration
case may be optimized by splitting unregister_shrinker()
in tho stages, and this is made in next patches.
Also, keep in mind, that in case of SRCU is not allowed
to make unconditional (which is done in previous patch),
it is possible to use percpu_rw_semaphore instead of it.
percpu_down_read() will be used in shrink_slab_memcg()
and in shrink_slab(), and consecutive calls
percpu_down_write(percpu_rwsem);
percpu_up_write(percpu_rwsem);
will be used instead of synchronize_srcu().
