At least I don't like this name. I know you want to tell others this function only should be called when shrinker has not been registed but allocated. Maybe shrinker_free() is more simple.

It is better to add a flag like SHRINKER_ALLOCATED which is set in shrinker_alloc(), and check whether it is set in shrinker_unregister(), if not maybe a warning should be added to tell the users what happened. > +{ > + struct dentry *debugfs_entry; > + int debugfs_id; > + > + if (!shrinker || !(shrinker->flags & SHRINKER_REGISTERED)) > + return; > + > + down_write(&shrinker_rwsem); > + list_del(&shrinker->list); > + shrinker->flags &= ~SHRINKER_REGISTERED; > + if (shrinker->flags & SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE) > + unregister_memcg_shrinker(shrinker); > + debugfs_entry = shrinker_debugfs_detach(shrinker, &debugfs_id); In the internal of this function, you also could use shrinker_debugfs_name_free().

Currently, the shrinker instances can be divided into the following three types: a) global shrinker instance statically defined in the kernel, such as workingset_shadow_shrinker. b) global shrinker instance statically defined in the kernel modules, such as mmu_shrinker in x86. c) shrinker instance embedded in other structures. For case a, the memory of shrinker instance is never freed. For case b, the memory of shrinker instance will be freed after synchronize_rcu() when the module is unloaded. For case c, the memory of shrinker instance will be freed along with the structure it is embedded in. In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, we need to dynamically allocate those shrinker instances in case c, then the memory can be dynamically freed alone by calling kfree_rcu(). So this commit adds the following new APIs for dynamically allocating shrinker, and add a private_data field to struct shrinker to record and get the original embedded structure. 1. shrinker_alloc() Used to allocate shrinker instance itself and related memory, it will return a pointer to the shrinker instance on success and NULL on failure. 2. shrinker_free_non_registered() Used to destroy the non-registered shrinker instance. 3. shrinker_register() Used to register the shrinker instance, which is same as the current register_shrinker_prepared(). 4. shrinker_unregister() Used to unregister and free the shrinker instance. In order to simplify shrinker-related APIs and make shrinker more independent of other kernel mechanisms, subsequent submissions will use the above API to convert all shrinkers (including case a and b) to dynamically allocated, and then remove all existing APIs. This will also have another advantage mentioned by Dave Chinner: ``` The other advantage of this is that it will break all the existing out of tree code and third party modules using the old API and will no longer work with a kernel using lockless slab shrinkers. They need to break (both at the source and binary levels) to stop bad things from happening due to using uncoverted shrinkers in the new setup. ``` Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> --- include/linux/shrinker.h | 6 +++ mm/shrinker.c | 113 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 119 insertions(+)
