Subject: [PATCH v1 03/12] f2fs: cache: introduce shrinker
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 11:17:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820031721.12218-4-chao@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820031721.12218-1-chao@kernel.org>

This patch integrates the metadata cache into the F2FS memory shrinker
subsystem to reclaim clean, unreferenced cached blocks under memory
pressure.

It implements f2fs_shrink_cache() using a 3-phase cache reclamin method:
1. isolate clean entries from lru list
2. truncate from radix tree under lock
3. splice un-reclaimed entries back

And hooks the new interface into f2fs_shrink_count() and f2fs_shrink_scan().
