[PATCH 8/9] mm: implement split page table lock for PMD level

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Sep 13 2013 - 09:06:48 EST


The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.

Split pmd page table lock only makes sense on big machines.
Let's say >= 32 CPUs for now.

We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore. Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.

hugetlbfs hasn't converted to split locking: disable split locking if
hugetlbfs enabled.
