Subject[PATCH] dm bufio: Reduce dm_bufio_lock contention
Date
Performance test in android reports that the phone sometimes gets
hanged and shows black screen for about several minutes.The sysdump shows:
1. kswapd and other tasks who enter the direct-reclaim path are waiting
on the dm_bufio_lock;
2. the task who gets the dm_bufio_lock is stalled for IO completions,
the relevant stack trace as :

PID: 22920 TASK: ffffffc0120f1a00 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "kworker/u8:2"
#0 [ffffffc0282af3d0] __switch_to at ffffff8008085e48

#7 [ffffffc0282af680] shrink_lruvec at ffffff8008178510
#8 [ffffffc0282af790] mem_cgroup_shrink_node_zone at ffffff80081793bc
#9 [ffffffc0282af840] mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim at ffffff80081b6040

This patch aims to reduce the dm_bufio_lock contention when multiple
tasks do shrink_slab() at the same time.It is acceptable that task
will be allowed to reclaim from other shrinkers or reclaim from dm-bufio
next time, rather than stalled for the dm_bufio_lock.
