Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool. It only requires that no shrinkers run in parallel, and doesn't care about registering and unregistering of shrinkers. Since slab shrink is protected by SRCU, synchronize_srcu() is sufficient to ensure that no shrinker is running in parallel. So the shrinker_rwsem in synchronize_shrinkers() is no longer needed, just remove it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
