rmap: introduce rmap_walk_locked()
This patchset rewrites freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() using
try_to_unmap() and remove_migration_ptes(). Result is much simpler, but
somewhat slower.
Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP:
Baseline 20.21 +/- 0.393
Patched 20.73 +/- 0.082
Slowdown 1.03x
It's 3% slower, comparing to 14% in v1. I don't it should be a stopper.
Splitting of PTE-mapped pages slowed more. But this is not a common
case.
Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP:
Baseline 20.39 +/- 0.225
Patched 22.43 +/- 0.496
Slowdown 1.10x
rmap_walk_locked() is the same as rmap_walk(), but the caller takes care
of the relevant rmap lock.
This is preparation for switching THP splitting from custom rmap walk in
freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() to the generic one.
There is no support for KSM pages for now: not clear which lock is
implied.
