[PATCH v2] mm/swap: piggyback lru_add_drain_all() calls

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Fri Oct 04 2019 - 09:09:27 EST


This is very slow operation. There is no reason to do it again if somebody
else already drained all per-cpu vectors while we waited for lock.

Piggyback on drain started and finished while we waited for lock:
all pages pended at the time of our enter were drained from vectors.

Callers like POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED retry their operations once after
draining per-cpu vectors when pages have unexpected references.
