[PATCH 1/8] mm: vmscan: move shrinker_debugfs_remove() before synchronize_srcu()
Posted by Qi Zheng 2 years, 8 months ago
From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

The debugfs_remove_recursive() will wait for debugfs_file_put()
to return, so there is no need to put it after synchronize_srcu()
to wait for the rcu read-side critical section to exit.

Just move it before synchronize_srcu(), which is also convenient
to put the heavy synchronize_srcu() in the delayed work later.

Afaict, should be a patch independent of this series.

OK, will resend as an independent patch.
