Rather than decrementing the head page refcount one by one, we
walk the page array and checking which belong to the same
compound_head. Later on we decrement the calculated amount
of references in a single write to the head page. To that
end switch to for_each_compound_head() does most of the work.
set_page_dirty() needs no adjustment as it's a nop for
non-dirty head pages and it doesn't operate on tail pages.
This considerably improves unpinning of pages with THP and
hugetlbfs:
- THP
gup_test -t -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w
PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~23.2k us
- 16G with 1G huge page size
gup_test -f /mnt/huge/file -m 16384 -r 10 [-L|-a] -S -n 512 -w
PIN_LONGTERM_BENCHMARK: (put values): ~87.6k us -> ~27.5k us
