[RFC PATCH 3/4] memcontrol: apply new local_schedule_work_on() interface

From: Leonardo Bras
Date: Sat Jul 29 2023 - 04:39:43 EST


Make use of the new local_*lock_n*() and local_schedule_work_on() interface
to improve performance & latency on PREEMTP_RT kernels.

For functions that may be scheduled in a different cpu, replace
local_*lock*() by local_lock_n*(), and replace schedule_work_on() by
local_schedule_work_on().

This should bring no relevant performance impact on non-RT kernels:
For functions that may be scheduled in a different cpu, the local_*lock's
this_cpu_ptr() becomes a per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()).
