[PATCH v19 13/20] mm/mlock: remove lru_lock on TestClearPageMlocked

From: Alex Shi
Date: Wed Sep 23 2020 - 23:29:46 EST


In the func munlock_vma_page, comments mentained lru_lock needed for
serialization with split_huge_pages. But the page must be PageLocked
as well as pages in split_huge_page series funcs. Thus the PageLocked
is enough to serialize both funcs.

Further more, Hugh Dickins pointed: before splitting in
split_huge_page_to_list, the page was unmap_page() to remove pmd/ptes
which protect the page from munlock. Thus, no needs to guard
__split_huge_page_tail for mlock clean, just keep the lru_lock there for
isolation purpose.

LKP found a preempt issue on __mod_zone_page_state which need change
to mod_zone_page_state. Thanks!
