[PATCH v2 1/4] mm, slab: Revert "extend slab/shrink to shrink all memcg caches"

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Apr 27 2020 - 19:57:00 EST


When the slub shrink sysfs file is written into, the function call
sequence is as follows:

kernfs_fop_write
=> slab_attr_store
=> shrink_store
=> kmem_cache_shrink_all

It turns out that doing a memcg cache scan in kmem_cache_shrink_all()
is redundant as the same memcg cache scan is being done in
slab_attr_store(). So revert the commit 04f768a39d55 ("mm, slab: extend
slab/shrink to shrink all memcg caches") except the documentation change
which is still valid.
