+
+==========================
+Shrinker Debugfs Interface
+==========================
+
+Shrinker debugfs interface provides a visibility into the kernel memory
+shrinkers subsystem and allows to get information about individual shrinkers.
+
+For each shrinker registered in the system a directory in **<debugfs>/shrinker/**
+is created. The directory's name is composed from the shrinker's name and an
+unique id: e.g. *kfree_rcu-0* or *sb-xfs:vda1-36*.
+
+Each shrinker directory contains the **count** file, which allows to trigger
+the *count_objects()* callback for each memcg and numa node (if applicable).
+
+Usage:
+------
+
+1. *List registered shrinkers*
+
+ ::
+
+ $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
+ $ ls
+ dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42
+ mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43
+ mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44
+ rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49
+ sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13
+ sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36
+ sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19
+ sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10
+ sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9
+ sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37
+ sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38
+ sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35
+ sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40
+
+2. *Get information about a specific shrinker*
+
+ ::
+
+ $ cd sb-btrfs\:vda2-24/
+ $ ls
+ count
+
+3. *Count objects*
+
+ Each line in the output has the following format::
+
+ <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ...
+ <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ...
+ ...
+
+ If there are no objects on all numa nodes, a line is omitted. If there
+ are no objects at all, the output might be empty.
+
+ If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed
+ as cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed
+ for all nodes except the first one.
