Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] mm: vmscan: remove shrinker_rwsem from synchronize_shrinkers()
Date:   Thu, 23 Feb 2023 21:27:24 +0800

Now there are no readers of shrinker_rwsem, so
synchronize_shrinkers() does not need to hold the
writer of shrinker_rwsem to wait for all running
shinkers to complete, synchronize_srcu() is enough.
