[dm-devel] [PATCH 11/29] virtio_balloon: dynamically allocate the virtio-balloon shrinker

2023-06-22 Thread Qi Zheng
In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, we need to dynamically allocate the virtio-balloon shrinker, so that it can be freed asynchronously using kfree_rcu(). Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side critical section when releasing the struct virtio_balloon. Signed-off-by: Qi Z
