  * This interface can be used by a shrinker to reduce the target max-slots
  * for a session so that some slots can eventually be freed.
  * It uses spin_trylock() as it may be called in a context where another
  * spinlock is held that has a dependency on client_lock.  As shrinkers are

- * Return value:
- *   The number of slots that the target was reduced by.
