All I did was to trigger these shrinker callbacks through debugfs (https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/mm/shrinker_debugfs.html)
But rcutorture isn't testing it because:
- No torture config has CONFIG_RCU_LAZY - rcutorture doesn't do any lazy call_rcu() (always calls hurry for the main RCU flavour).
And I suspect rcutorture isn't ready for accepting the lazy delay, that would require some special treatment.
Thanks.
