Reminding me the issue, again, Xing. That's because the patch
was not merged yet so let me send it again.

Andrew?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: fs: invalidate bh_lrus for only cold path

kernel test robot reported the regression of fio.write_iops[1]
with [2].

Since lru_add_drain is called frequently, invalidate bh_lrus
there could increase bh_lrus cache miss ratio, which needs
more IO in the end.

This patch moves the bh_lrus invalidation from the hot path(
e.g., zap_page_range, pagevec_release) to cold path(i.e.,
lru_add_drain_all, lru_cache_disable).
