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