16 * A callback you can register to apply pressure to ageable caches.

18 * 'sc' is passed shrink_control which includes a count 'nr_to_scan'
19 * and a 'gfpmask'. It should look through the least-recently-used
20 * 'nr_to_scan' entries and attempt to free them up. It should return
21 * the number of objects which remain in the cache. If it returns -1, it means
22 * it cannot do any scanning at this time (eg. there is a risk of deadlock).
23 *
24 * The 'gfpmask' refers to the allocation we are currently trying to
25 * fulfil.
26 *
27 * Note that 'shrink' will be passed nr_to_scan == 0 when the VM is
28 * querying the cache size, so a fastpath for that case is appropriate.
