[PATCH v2 0/8] Printbufs & improved shrinker debugging

[Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>]

v1 of this patch series here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220419203202.2670193-1-kent.overstreet@gmail.com/T/

Changes since v1:

 - Converted some, not all, seq_buf code to printbufs (thanks Christoph for
   pointing out seq_buf).

   The seq_buf code I didn't convert is arch specific code where the memory
   allocation context is unclear, and they're using seq_buf to do everything on
   the stack. I'm considering adding a mode to printbufs where we point it at an
   external buffer instead - it wouldn't be much code, but OTOH seq_buf isn't
   much code either and it seems to be somewhat tied to tracing infrastructure.
   Deferring a decision on what to do for now.

 - pr_human_readable_u64() now uses string_get_size() (thanks Matthew for
   pointing this one out)

 - added new helpers printbuf_str() for getting a guaranteed-null-terminated
   string, and printbuf_atomic_inc() and printbuf_atomic_dec() for marking
   sections where allocations must be GFP_ATOMIC.

 - Broke out shrinker_to_text(): this new helper could be used by new sysfs or
   debugfs code, for displaying information about a single shrinker (as Roman is
   working on)

 - Added new tracking, per shrinker, for # of objects requested to be freed and
   # actually freed. Shrinkers won't necessarily free all objects requested for
   perfectly legitimate reasons, but if the two numbers are wildly off then
   that's going to lead to memory reclaim issues - these are both also included
   in shrinker_to_text().
