30 * A callback you can register to apply pressure to ageable caches.
32 * @count_objects should return the number of freeable items in the cache. If
33 * there are no objects to free or the number of freeable items cannot be
34 * determined, it should return 0. No deadlock checks should be done during the
35 * count callback - the shrinker relies on aggregating scan counts that couldn't
36 * be executed due to potential deadlocks to be run at a later call when the
37 * deadlock condition is no longer pending.
39 * @scan_objects will only be called if @count_objects returned a non-zero
40 * value for the number of freeable objects. The callout should scan the cache
41 * and attempt to free items from the cache. It should then return the number
42 * of objects freed during the scan, or SHRINK_STOP if progress cannot be made
43 * due to potential deadlocks. If SHRINK_STOP is returned, then no further
44 * attempts to call the @scan_objects will be made from the current reclaim
47 * @flags determine the shrinker abilities, like numa awareness
