12  * This file implements UBIFS shrinker which evicts clean znodes from the TNC
13  * tree when Linux VM needs more RAM.
14  *
15  * We do not implement any LRU lists to find oldest znodes to free because it
16  * would add additional overhead to the file system fast paths. So the shrinker
17  * just walks the TNC tree when searching for znodes to free.
18  *
19  * If the root of a TNC sub-tree is clean and old enough, then the children are
20  * also clean and old enough. So the shrinker walks the TNC in level order and
21  * dumps entire sub-trees.
22  *
23  * The age of znodes is just the time-stamp when they were last looked at.
24  * The current shrinker first tries to evict old znodes, then young ones.
25  *
26  * Since the shrinker is global, it has to protect against races with FS
27  * un-mounts, which is done by the 'ubifs_infos_lock' and 'c->umount_mutex'.
