Hazard pointers appear to be a good fit for replacing refcount based lazy
active mm tracking.
Highlight:
will-it-scale context_switch1_threads
nr threads (-t) speedup
24 +3%
48 +12%
96 +21%
192 +28%
I'm curious to see what the build bots have to say about this.
This series applies on top of v6.11.1.
