Subject: [PATCH mmotm] mm: vmscan: fix shrinker_rwsem in
 free_shrinker_info()
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.11.2103301640240.2584@eggly.anvils>

Lockdep warns mm/vmscan.c: suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
when free_shrinker_info() is called from mem_cgroup_css_free(): there it
is called with no locking, whereas alloc_shrinker_info() calls it with
down_write of shrinker_rwsem - which seems appropriate.  Rearrange that
so free_shrinker_info() can manage the shrinker_rwsem for itself.

Sorry, I've made no attempt to work out precisely where in the series
the locking went missing, nor tried to fit this in as a fix on top of
mm-vmscan-add-shrinker_info_protected-helper.patch
which Oliver reported (and which you notated in mmotm's "series" file).
This patch just adds the fix to the end of the series, after
mm-vmscan-shrink-deferred-objects-proportional-to-priority.patch
