Series hugetlb: Change huge pmd sharing | expand

Commit Message

Mike Kravetz April 6, 2022, 8:48 p.m. UTC
Commit c0d0381ade79 added code to take i_mmap_rwsem in read mode for the
duration of fault processing.  However, this has been shown to cause
performance/scaling issues.  Revert the code and go back to the method
of only taking the semaphore in huge_pmd_share.

Keep the code that takes i_mmap_rwsem in write mode before calling
try_to_unmap as this is required if huge_pmd_unshare is called.

In a subsequent patch, code will be added to detect when a pmd was
'unshared' during fault processing and deal with that.
