Vlad, this patch does not apply to my branch that I shared with you. Sorry if
I was not clear earlier, could we work on the same branch to avoid conflicts?

I based the kfree_rcu shrinker patches on an 'rcu/kfree' branch in my git
tree: https://github.com/joelagnel/linux-kernel/tree/rcu/kfree

For now I manually applied 5/6. All others applied cleanly.

Updated the tree as I continue to review your patches.

thanks,

 - Joel
