[PATCH 1/3] mm: move workingset_activation under lru_lock

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Mon Aug 03 2015 - 08:04:44 EST


The following patch will move inactive_age from zone to lruvec in order
to make workingset detection logic memcg aware. To achieve that we need
to be able to call mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() from all the workingset
detection related functions. Currently, workingset_eviction() and
workingset_refault() meet this requirement, because both of them are
always called with the page isolated and locked, which prevents the page
from being migrated to another cgroup. However, workingset_activation(),
which is called from mark_page_accessed(), does not. To make this
function safe to call mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), this patch moves its
invocation to __activate_page() called under the lru_lock.
