[PATCH v2 3/3] arm64: mm: enable per pmd page table lock

From: Yu Zhao
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 18:13:41 EST


Switch from per mm_struct to per pmd page table lock by enabling
ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK. This provides better granularity for
large system.

I'm not sure if there is contention on mm->page_table_lock. Given
the option comes at no cost (apart from initializing more spin
locks), why not enable it now.
