[based on mm-unstable, 651c8c1d7359] Optimize mseal checks by removing the separate can_modify_mm() step, and just doing checks on the individual vmas, when various operations are themselves iterating through the tree. This provides a nice speedup and restores performance parity with pre-mseal[3]. This series also depends on the powerpc series that removes arch_unmap[2]. This series is already in mm-unstable. will-it-scale mmap1_process[1] -t 1 results: commit 3450fe2b574b4345e4296ccae395149e1a357fee: min:277605 max:277605 total:277605 min:281784 max:281784 total:281784 min:277238 max:277238 total:277238 min:281761 max:281761 total:281761 min:274279 max:274279 total:274279 min:254854 max:254854 total:254854 measurement min:269143 max:269143 total:269143 min:270454 max:270454 total:270454 min:243523 max:243523 total:243523 min:251148 max:251148 total:251148 min:209669 max:209669 total:209669 min:190426 max:190426 total:190426 min:231219 max:231219 total:231219 min:275364 max:275364 total:275364 min:266540 max:266540 total:266540 min:242572 max:242572 total:242572 min:284469 max:284469 total:284469 min:278882 max:278882 total:278882 min:283269 max:283269 total:283269 min:281204 max:281204 total:281204 After this patch set: min:280580 max:280580 total:280580 min:290514 max:290514 total:290514 min:291006 max:291006 total:291006 min:290352 max:290352 total:290352 min:294582 max:294582 total:294582 min:293075 max:293075 total:293075 measurement min:295613 max:295613 total:295613 min:294070 max:294070 total:294070 min:293193 max:293193 total:293193 min:291631 max:291631 total:291631 min:295278 max:295278 total:295278 min:293782 max:293782 total:293782 min:290361 max:290361 total:290361 min:294517 max:294517 total:294517 min:293750 max:293750 total:293750 min:293572 max:293572 total:293572 min:295239 max:295239 total:295239 min:292932 max:292932 total:292932 min:293319 max:293319 total:293319 min:294954 max:294954 total:294954 This was a Completely Unscientific test but seems to show there were around 5-10% gains on ops per second. Oliver performed his own tests and showed[3] a similar ~5% gain in them. [1]: mmap1_process does mmap and munmap in a loop. I didn't bother testing multithreading cases.
