+ * 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'.
