    mm: track actual nr_scanned during shrink_slab() · d460acb5
    Chris Wilson authored
    Some shrinkers may only be able to free a bunch of objects at a time,
    and so free more than the requested nr_to_scan in one pass.
    
    Whilst other shrinkers may find themselves even unable to scan as many
    objects as they counted, and so underreport.  Account for the extra
    freed/scanned objects against the total number of objects we intend to
    scan, otherwise we may end up penalising the slab far more than
    intended.  Similarly, we want to add the underperforming scan to the
    deferred pass so that we try harder and harder in future passes.
