[Experimental][PATCH] putback_lru_page rework
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Wed Jun 18 2008 - 05:34:50 EST
Lee-san, how about this ?
Tested on x86-64 and tried Nisimura-san's test at el. works good now.
-Kame
==
putback_lru_page()/unevictable page handling rework.
Now, putback_lru_page() requires that the page is locked.
And in some special case, implicitly unlock it.
This patch tries to make putback_lru_pages() to be lock_page() free.
(Of course, some callers must take the lock.)
The main reason that putback_lru_page() assumes that page is locked
is to avoid the change in page's status among Mlocked/Not-Mlocked.
Once it is added to unevictable list, the page is removed from
unevictable list only when page is munlocked. (there are other special
case. but we ignore the special case.)
So, status change during putback_lru_page() is fatal and page should
be locked.
putback_lru_page() in this patch has a new concepts.
When it adds page to unevictable list, it checks the status is
changed or not again. if changed, retry to putback.
This patche changes also caller side and cleaning up lock/unlock_page().
