 /*
+ * mapping_shrinkable - test if page cache state allows inode reclaim
+ * @mapping: the page cache mapping
+ *
+ * This checks the mapping's cache state for the pupose of inode
+ * reclaim and LRU management.
+ *
+ * The caller is expected to hold the i_lock, but is not required to
+ * hold the i_pages lock, which usually protects cache state. That's
+ * because the i_lock and the list_lru lock that protect the inode and
+ * its LRU state don't nest inside the irq-safe i_pages lock.
+ *
+ * Cache deletions are performed under the i_lock, which ensures that
+ * when an inode goes empty, it will reliably get queued on the LRU.
+ *
+ * Cache additions do not acquire the i_lock and may race with this
+ * check, in which case we'll report the inode as shrinkable when it
+ * has cache pages. This is okay: the shrinker also checks the
+ * refcount and the referenced bit, which will be elevated or set in
+ * the process of adding new cache pages to an inode.
