With this patch, a slab with 5000 objects on it will get 1 item scanned, while a slab with 4000 objects on it will see shrinker->batch or SHRINK_BATCH objects scanned every time. I don't know if this would cause any issues, just something to ponder. If nobody things this is a problem, you can give the patch my: Acked-by: Rik van Riel <[email protected]> -- All Rights Reversed.
