[PATCH] mm: vmscan: export func:shrink_slab

From: lipeifeng
Date: Fri Jun 16 2023 - 05:21:51 EST


From: lipeifeng <lipeifeng@xxxxxxxx>

Some of shrinkers during shrink_slab would enter synchronous-wait
due to lock or other reasons, which would causes kswapd or
direct_reclaim to be blocked.

This patch export shrink_slab so that it can be called in drivers
which can shrink memory independently.
