Yafang Shao e5ca8071fe mm/vmscan.c: add a new member reclaim_state in struct shrink_control
Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths".

This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab.

There're six different reclaim paths by now,
 - kswapd reclaim path
 - node reclaim path
 - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path
 - direct reclaim path
 - memcg reclaim path
 - memcg softlimit reclaim path

The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the
above three paths.  The issues are detailed explained in patch #2.  We
should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path.  In
order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct
shrink_control.

In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which
is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/).

This patch (of 2):

The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are
reclaimed in one reclaim path.  The struct shrink_control is used to
control one reclaim path.  So we'd better put reclaim_state into
shrink_control.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
