rmap: introduce rmap_walk_locked()
This patchset rewrites freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() using try_to_unmap() and remove_migration_ptes(). Result is much simpler, but somewhat slower. Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP: Baseline 20.21 +/- 0.393 Patched 20.73 +/- 0.082 Slowdown 1.03x It's 3% slower, comparing to 14% in v1. I don't it should be a stopper. Splitting of PTE-mapped pages slowed more. But this is not a common case. Migration 8GiB worth of PMD-mapped THP: Baseline 20.39 +/- 0.225 Patched 22.43 +/- 0.496 Slowdown 1.10x rmap_walk_locked() is the same as rmap_walk(), but the caller takes care of the relevant rmap lock. This is preparation for switching THP splitting from custom rmap walk in freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() to the generic one. There is no support for KSM pages for now: not clear which lock is implied.
