mm: buffered write cleanup
Quite a bit of code is used in maintaining these "cached pages" that are probably pretty unlikely to get used. It would require a narrow race where the page is inserted concurrently while this process is allocating a page in order to create the spare page. Then a multi-page write into an uncached part of the file, to make use of it. Next, the buffered write path (and others) uses its own LRU pagevec when it should be just using the per-CPU LRU pagevec (which will cut down on both data and code size cacheline footprint). Also, these private LRU pagevecs are emptied after just a very short time, in contrast with the per-CPU pagevecs that are persistent. Net result: 7.3 times fewer lru_lock acquisitions required to add the pages to pagecache for a bulk write (in 4K chunks). [this gets rid of some cond_resched() calls in readahead.c and mpage.c due to clashes in -mm. What put them there, and why? ] Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
