Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] vfs: introduce reclaim_icache_sb() and reclaim_dcache_sb() helper
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2025 19:27:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251117112735.4170831-2-yebin@huaweicloud.com> (raw)

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com>

This patch is prepare for support drop_caches for specify file system.
reclaim_icache_sb()/reclaim_dcache_sb() helper walk the superblock
inode/dentry LRU for freeable inodes/dentrys and attempt to free them.
