There are two perfomance optimization patches for rmap_walk_ksm.
The patch [1/2] move the initializaion of addr from the position inside loop
to the position before the loop, since the variable will not change in the
loop.
The patch [2/2] optimize rmap_walk_ksm by passing a suitable page offset range
to the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach loop to reduce ineffective checks.
The metric performance is seen at patch[2/2].
For the future, we usually describe what changed between versions briefly in the cover letter. Thanks!
