From 8ab47664d51a69ea79fe70bb07ca80664f74f76b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 14:14:45 +1000 Subject: vfs: increase shrinker batch size Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.
