Note, with this optimization I went a farther than the
boundaries of the migration code - it seemed worthwile to do and
I've reviewed all the other users of page_lock_anon_vma() as
well and none seemed to be modifying the list inside that lock.
Please review this patch carefully - in particular the SMP races
outlined in anon_vma_free() are exciting: I have updated the
reasoning and it still appears to hold, but please double check
the changes nevertheless ...
Thanks,
Ingo

rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too careful
about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection against anon
vma list modifications, it does not need exclusive access to the
list itself.
Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes a
global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense threaded
workloads which can cause pathological performance like this:

With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat
and there's no anon-vma related scheduling/blocking.
