I made a patch(attached) using both local_irq_disable/enable and local_irq_save/restore.
local_irq_save/restore is used only in mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped.

And I attached a histogram graph of 30 times kernel build in root cgroup for each.

  before_root: no irq operation(original)
  after_root: local_irq_disable/enable for all
  after2_root: local_irq_save/restore for all
  after3_root: mixed version(attached)

hmm, there seems to be a tendency that before < after < after3 < after2 ?
Should I replace save/restore version to mixed version ?


Thanks,
Daisuke Nishimura.
