Revert "mm: vmscan: remove shrinker_rwsem from synchronize_shrinkers()"
This reverts commit 1643db9.
Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb7 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.
We will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner to
continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So we still need
shrinker_rwsem in synchronize_shrinkers() after reverting the
shrinker_srcu related changes.
