[PATCH v6 2/4] rcu: shrinker for lazy rcu

Joel Fernandes (Google)
2022-09-22T22:01:43Z

From: Vineeth Pillai <vineeth@bitbyteword.org>

The shrinker is used to speed up the free'ing of memory potentially held
by RCU lazy callbacks. RCU kernel module test cases show this to be
effective. Test is introduced in a later patch.
