LMK as shrinker is really bad, which everybody didn't want
when we reviewed it a few years ago so that's a one of reason
LMK couldn't be promoted to mainline yet. So your motivation is
already not atrractive. ;-)

I didn't review the patch and others don't want it, I guess.
Because slab shrink is under construction and many patches were
already merged into mmtom. Please look at latest mmotm tree.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git
If you concern is still in there and it's really big concern of MM
we should take care, NOT LMK, plese, resend it.
Thanks.
