In the following patchset (against 2.6.16-rc1-git2), patches 1-4 reduce the number of locks and atomic operations required in some critical page manipulation paths.
Patches 5 and 6 help simplify some tricky race avoidance code at the cost of possibly a very minor performance hit in page reclaim on some architectures. If they need any more justification they will be needed for lockless pagecache.
Do these look OK?
Thanks, Nick
