+==========================
+Shrinker Debugfs Interface
+==========================
+
+Shrinker debugfs interface provides a visibility into the kernel memory
+shrinkers subsystem and allows to get information about individual shrinkers.
+
+For each shrinker registered in the system a directory in **<debugfs>/shrinker/**
+is created. The directory's name is composed from the shrinker's name and an
+unique id: e.g. *kfree_rcu-0* or *sb-xfs:vda1-36*.
+
+Each shrinker directory contains the **count** file, which allows to trigger
+the *count_objects()* callback for each memcg and numa node (if applicable).
+
+Usage:
+------
+
+1. *List registered shrinkers*
+
+  ::
+
+    $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
+    $ ls
+    dquota-cache-16     sb-devpts-28     sb-proc-47       sb-tmpfs-42
+    mm-shadow-18        sb-devtmpfs-5    sb-proc-48       sb-tmpfs-43
+    mm-zspool:zram0-34  sb-hugetlbfs-17  sb-pstore-31     sb-tmpfs-44
+    rcu-kfree-0         sb-hugetlbfs-33  sb-rootfs-2      sb-tmpfs-49
+    sb-aio-20           sb-iomem-12      sb-securityfs-6  sb-tracefs-13
+    sb-anon_inodefs-15  sb-mqueue-21     sb-selinuxfs-22  sb-xfs:vda1-36
+    sb-bdev-3           sb-nsfs-4        sb-sockfs-8      sb-zsmalloc-19
+    sb-bpf-32           sb-pipefs-14     sb-sysfs-26      thp-deferred_split-10
+    sb-btrfs:vda2-24    sb-proc-25       sb-tmpfs-1       thp-zero-9
+    sb-cgroup2-30       sb-proc-39       sb-tmpfs-27      xfs-buf:vda1-37
+    sb-configfs-23      sb-proc-41       sb-tmpfs-29      xfs-inodegc:vda1-38
+    sb-dax-11           sb-proc-45       sb-tmpfs-35
+    sb-debugfs-7        sb-proc-46       sb-tmpfs-40
+
+2. *Get information about a specific shrinker*
+
+  ::
+
+    $ cd sb-btrfs\:vda2-24/
+    $ ls
+    count
+
+3. *Count objects*
+
+  Each line in the output has the following format::
+
+    <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ...
+    <cgroup inode id> <nr of objects on node 0> <nr of objects on node 1> ...
+    ...
+
+  If there are no objects on all numa nodes, a line is omitted. If there
+  are no objects at all, the output might be empty.
+
+  If the shrinker is not memcg-aware or CONFIG_MEMCG is off, 0 is printed
+  as cgroup inode id. If the shrinker is not numa-aware, 0's are printed
+  for all nodes except the first one.
