From 47a7c01c3efc6581f5dcca40928baeb38e1e40c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qi Zheng Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2023 08:15:12 +0000 Subject: Revert "mm: shrinkers: convert shrinker_rwsem to mutex" Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes". This patch (of 7): This reverts commit cf2e309ebca7bb0916771839f9b580b06c778530. Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits. Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why unregister_shrinker() has become slower. After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.
