Hi Sir:
Pls help to review the patch merge it if no problems, thanks you very much.

Hi Sir:
Virtually, we have implemented async shrink_slabd isolated from kswapd and direct_reclaim.
The goal above it is to avoid the sync-wait in kswapd or direct_reclaim due to some shrinkers.
But the async shrink_slabd was only applied to mobile products so that I didn't make sure any risk in other products. For the above reasons, I wanna merge the patch to export shrink_slab and the patch of drivers would be considered to be pushed if I check all the risks.
Some informal code files of driver are attached for your reference.

It feels like something we don't want arbitrary drivers to call.
Unrelated to that, this better be sent along with actual driver usage.
