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.
