Now that we defer inode inactivation, we've decoupled the process of unlinking or closing an inode from the process of inactivating it. In theory this should lead to better throughput since we now inactivate the queued inodes in batches instead of one at a time. Unfortunately, one of the primary risks with this decoupling is the loss of rate control feedback between the frontend and background threads. In other words, a rm -rf /* thread can run the system out of memory if it can queue inodes for inactivation and jump to a new CPU faster than the background threads can actually clear the deferred work. The workers can get scheduled off the CPU if they have to do IO, etc. To solve this problem, we configure a shrinker so that it will activate the /second/ time the shrinkers are called. The custom shrinker will queue all percpu deferred inactivation workers immediately and set a flag to force frontend callers who are releasing a vfs inode to wait for the inactivation workers. On my test VM with 560M of RAM and a 2TB filesystem, this seems to solve most of the OOMing problem when deleting 10 million inodes. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
