[PATCH 2/2] sbitmap: remove swap_lock

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Fri Nov 20 2020 - 19:04:47 EST


map->swap_lock serialises concurrent calls to sbitmap_deferred_clear(),
however that function is already works in atomic fashion and guarantees
to not loose bits while applying map->cleared bitmask.

Remove spinlocking in sbitmap_deferred_clear(). For a one-threaded
tag allocation heavy test on top of nullblk it yields ~1.0-1.5% t-put
increase, and according to perf 3% -> 1.5% cycle reduction of
sbitmap_get().
