From a60637c85893e7191faaafa6a72e197c24386727 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:45:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: lockless pagecache Combine page_cache_get_speculative with lockless radix tree lookups to introduce lockless page cache lookups (ie. no mapping->tree_lock on the read-side). The only atomicity changes this introduces is that the gang pagecache lookup functions now behave as if they are implemented with multiple find_get_page calls, rather than operating on a snapshot of the pages. In practice, this atomicity guarantee is not used anyway, and it is to replace individual lookups, so these semantics are natural.
