Subject[PATCH v4 2/4] mm/gup: decrement head page once for group of subpages
Date
Rather than decrementing the head page refcount one by one, we
walk the page array and checking which belong to the same
compound_head. Later on we decrement the calculated amount
of references in a single write to the head page. To that
end switch to for_each_compound_head() does most of the work.

set_page_dirty() needs no adjustment as it's a nop for
non-dirty head pages and it doesn't operate on tail pages.

This considerably improves unpinning of pages with THP and
hugetlbfs:

- THP
gup_test -t -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w
PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~23.2k us

- 16G with 1G huge page size
gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w
PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~27.5k us
