The shrinker may run concurrently with callbacks (de-)offloading. As such, calling rcu_nocb_lock() is very dangerous because it does a conditional locking. The worst outcome is that rcu_nocb_lock() doesn't lock but rcu_nocb_unlock() eventually unlocks, or the reverse, creating an imbalance. Fix this with protecting against (de-)offloading using the barrier mutex. Although if the barrier mutex is contended, which should be rare, then step aside so as not to trigger a mutex VS allocation dependency chain.

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.
