[RFC][PATCH] putback_lru_page()/unevictable page handling rework v3

From: KOSAKI Motohiro
Date: Sat Jun 21 2008 - 06:01:19 EST

Hi,

I merged kamezawa-san's SHMEM related fix.
this patch works well >2H.
and, I am going to test on stress workload during this week end.

but I hope recieve review at first.
thus I post it now.

Thanks.


V2 -> V3
o remove lock_page() from scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() and
scan_zone_unevictable_pages().
o revert ipc/shm.c mm/shmem.c change of SHMEM unevictable patch.
it become unnecessary by this patch.

V1 -> V2
o undo unintented comment killing.
o move putback_lru_page() from move_to_new_page() to unmap_and_move().
o folded depend patch

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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().
