Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 8/8] mm: enable concurrent LRU adds
Date:   Mon, 10 Sep 2018 20:59:49 -0400
Message-Id: <20180911005949.5635-5-daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180911004240.4758-1-daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com>
References: <20180911004240.4758-1-daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Switch over to holding lru_lock as reader when splicing pages onto the
front of an LRU.  The main benefit of doing this is to allow LRU adds
and removes to happen concurrently.  Before this patch, an add blocks
all removing threads.
