mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s
Patch series "mm: free retracted page table by RCU", v3. Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e. latency reduction. Initially just for the case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs: the usefulness of MADV_COLLAPSE on shmem is being limited by that mmap_write_lock it currently requires. Likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g. freeing of empty page tables (but that's not work I'm doing). mmap_write_lock avoidance when collapsing to anon THPs? Perhaps, but again that's not work I've done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case. These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them. This patch (of 13): Before putting them to use (several commits later), add rcu_read_lock() to pte_offset_map(), and rcu_read_unlock() to pte_unmap(). Make this a separate commit, since it risks exposing imbalances: prior commits have fixed all the known imbalances, but we may find some have been missed.
