mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm: free retracted page table by RCU", v3.

Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e.  latency reduction.  Initially just for the
case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs: the usefulness of
MADV_COLLAPSE on shmem is being limited by that mmap_write_lock it
currently requires.

Likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g.  freeing of empty
page tables (but that's not work I'm doing).  mmap_write_lock avoidance
when collapsing to anon THPs?  Perhaps, but again that's not work I've
done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case.

These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in
Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them.


This patch (of 13):

Before putting them to use (several commits later), add rcu_read_lock() to
pte_offset_map(), and rcu_read_unlock() to pte_unmap().  Make this a
separate commit, since it risks exposing imbalances: prior commits have
fixed all the known imbalances, but we may find some have been missed.
