If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Qi Zheng [ Upstream commit 1dd49e58f966b1eecd935dc28458a8369ae94ad1 ] debugfs_remove_recursive() will wait for debugfs_file_put() to return, so the shrinker will not be freed when doing debugfs operations (such as shrinker_debugfs_count_show() and shrinker_debugfs_scan_write()), so there is no need to hold shrinker_rwsem during debugfs operations.
