When running ltp stress test for 7*24 hours, vmscan occasionally emits the following warning continuously: mb_cache_scan+0x0/0x3f0 negative objects to delete nr=-9232265467809300450 ... Tracing shows the freeable(mb_cache_count returns) is -1, which causes the continuous accumulation and overflow of total_scan. This patch makes sure that mb_cache_count() cannot return a negative value, which makes the mbcache shrinker more robust.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
