[RFC PATCH v1 10/13] mm: add LRU batch lock API's

From: daniel . m . jordan
Date: Wed Jan 31 2018 - 18:12:47 EST


Add the LRU batch locking API's themselves. This adds the final piece
of infrastructure necessary for locking batches on an LRU list.

The API's lock a specific page on the LRU list, taking only the
appropriate LRU batch lock for a non-sentinel page and taking the
node's/memcg's lru_lock in addition for a sentinel page.

These interfaces are designed for performance: they minimize the number
of times we needlessly drop and then reacquire the same lock(s) when
used in a loop. They're difficult to use but will do for a prototype.
