SubjectRe: [PATCH 18/25] Do not disable interrupts in free_page_mlock()
Date
(cc to Lee)

> free_page_mlock() tests and clears PG_mlocked using locked versions of the
> bit operations. If set, it disables interrupts to update counters and this
> happens on every page free even though interrupts are disabled very shortly
> afterwards a second time. This is wasteful.

> made. However, the update of counters is delayed until the interrupts are
> disabled and the non-lock version for clearing the bit is used. One potential
> weirdness with this split is that the counters do not get updated if the
> bad_page() check is triggered but a system showing bad pages is getting
> screwed already.

Looks good. thanks good improvement.
I hope Lee also ack this.
