I made a patch below and measured the time(average of 10 times) of kernel build on tmpfs(make -j8 on 8 CPU machine with 2.6.33 defconfig). <before> - root cgroup: 190.47 sec - child cgroup: 192.81 sec <after> - root cgroup: 191.06 sec - child cgroup: 193.06 sec Hmm... about 0.3% slower for root, 0.1% slower for child. === From: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In current implementation, we don't have to disable irq at lock_page_cgroup() because the lock is never acquired in interrupt context. But we are going to do it in later patch, so this patch encloses all of lock_page_cgroup()/unlock_page_cgroup() with irq_disabled()/irq_enabled().
