Patch series "mm: introduce shrinker debugfs interface", v5. The only existing debugging mechanism is a couple of tracepoints in do_shrink_slab(): mm_shrink_slab_start and mm_shrink_slab_end. They aren't covering everything though: shrinkers which report 0 objects will never show up, there is no support for memcg-aware shrinkers. Shrinkers are identified by their scan function, which is not always enough (e.g. hard to guess which super block's shrinker it is having only "super_cache_scan"). To provide a better visibility and debug options for memory shrinkers this patchset introduces a /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker interface, to some extent similar to /sys/kernel/slab. For each shrinker registered in the system a directory is created. As now, the directory will contain only a "scan" file, which allows to get the number of managed objects for each memory cgroup (for memcg-aware shrinkers) and each numa node (for numa-aware shrinkers on a numa machine). Other interfaces might be added in the future. To make debugging more pleasant, the patchset also names all shrinkers, so that debugfs entries can have meaningful names. This patch (of 5): Shrinker debugfs requires a way to represent memory cgroups without using full paths, both for displaying information and getting input from a user. Cgroup inode number is a perfect way, already used by bpf. This commit adds a couple of helper functions which will be used to handle memcg-aware shrinkers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
