docs/admin-guide/mm: remove useless markup

2023-02-02T17:18:05+00:00

It is enough to use a file name to cross-reference another rst document. Jon says: The right things will happen in the HTML output, readers of the plain-text will know immediately where to go, and we don't have to add the label clutter. Drop reference markup and unnecessary labels and use plain file names.

mm: shrinkers: add scan interface for shrinker debugfs

2022-07-04T01:08:41+00:00

Add a scan interface which allows to trigger scanning of a particular shrinker and specify memcg and numa node. It's useful for testing, debugging and profiling of a specific scan_objects() callback. Unlike alternatives (creating a real memory pressure and dropping caches via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) this interface allows to interact with only one shrinker at once. Also, if a shrinker is misreporting the number of objects (as some do), it doesn't affect scanning.
