Re: [PATCH] shrink_dcache_parent() races against shrink_dcache_memory()

We can think about optimizing this to
if (!sb->sprunes)
wake_up(&sb->s_wait_prunes);



Hardly. This is only the case when two or more shrinkers are active in
parallel. If that was the case often, we would have seen this much more
frequent IMHO.
But this avoids taking 2nd lock on fast path.
