The logic for calculating how many objects to free is still wrong: 
mb_cache_shrink_fn returns the number of entries scaled by 
sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure / 100.  It should also scale nr_to_scan by the 
inverse of that.  The sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure = 0 case (never scale) may 
require special attention.

See dcache_shrinker() in fs/dcache.c.

Thanks,
Andreas
