pginodesteal is supposed to capture the impact that inode reclaim has on the page cache state. Currently, it doesn't consider shadow pages that get dropped this way, even though this can have a significant impact on paging behavior, memory pressure calculations etc. To improve visibility into these effects, make sure shadow pages get counted when they get dropped through inode reclaim. This changes the return value semantics of invalidate_mapping_pages() semantics slightly, but the only two users are the inode shrinker itsel and a usb driver that logs it for debugging purposes.

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.
