[PATCH v2 2/3] mm: Split unregister_shrinker() in fast and slow part

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Mon Jun 05 2023 - 15:03:45 EST


This splits unregister_shrinker() in two parts, and this allows
to make the unregistration faster by moving the slow part
in delayed asynchronous work. Note, that the guarantees remain
the same: no do_shrink_slab() calls are possible after the first
part. This will be used in next patch.
