[PATCH v4 36/36] filemap: Batch PTE mappings

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)

From: Yin Fengwei <fengwei.yin@xxxxxxxxx>

Call set_pte_range() once per contiguous range of the folio instead
of once per page. This batches the updates to mm counters and the
rmap.

With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write
fault testing to read fault testing. Trying to upstream it to
will-it-scale at [1]) got 15% performance gain on a 48C/96T
Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes running against xfs.

Perf data collected before/after the change:
18.73%--page_add_file_rmap
|
--11.60%--__mod_lruvec_page_state
|
|--7.40%--__mod_memcg_lruvec_state
| |
| --5.58%--cgroup_rstat_updated
|
--2.53%--__mod_lruvec_state
|
--1.48%--__mod_node_page_state

9.93%--page_add_file_rmap_range
|
--2.67%--__mod_lruvec_page_state
|
|--1.95%--__mod_memcg_lruvec_state
| |
| --1.57%--cgroup_rstat_updated
|
--0.61%--__mod_lruvec_state
|
--0.54%--__mod_node_page_state

The running time of __mode_lruvec_page_state() is reduced about 9%.
