39 * A callback you can register to apply pressure to ageable caches.
41 * @count_objects should return the number of freeable items in the cache. If
42 * there are no objects to free, it should return SHRINK_EMPTY, while 0 is
43 * returned in cases of the number of freeable items cannot be determined
44 * or shrinker should skip this cache for this time (e.g., their number
45 * is below shrinkable limit). No deadlock checks should be done during the
46 * count callback - the shrinker relies on aggregating scan counts that couldn't
47 * be executed due to potential deadlocks to be run at a later call when the
48 * deadlock condition is no longer pending.
50 * @scan_objects will only be called if @count_objects returned a non-zero
51 * value for the number of freeable objects. The callout should scan the cache
52 * and attempt to free items from the cache. It should then return the number
53 * of objects freed during the scan, or SHRINK_STOP if progress cannot be made
54 * due to potential deadlocks. If SHRINK_STOP is returned, then no further
55 * attempts to call the @scan_objects will be made from the current reclaim
58 * @flags determine the shrinker abilities, like numa awareness
