Yu Ma 6852c46c78 mm/mmap: move vma operations to mm_struct out of the critical section of file mapping lock
UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are
spawned frequently to do some short jobs.  When running multiple parallel
tasks, hot osq_lock is observed from do_mmap and exit_mmap.  Both of them
come from load_elf_binary through the call chain
"execl->do_execveat_common->bprm_execve->load_elf_binary".

In do_mmap,it will call mmap_region to create vma node, initialize it and
insert it to vma maintain structure in mm_struct and i_mmap tree of the
mapping file, then increase map_count to record the number of vma nodes
used.  The hot osq_lock is to protect operations on file's i_mmap tree. 
For the mm_struct member change like vma insertion and map_count update,
they do not affect i_mmap tree.  Move those operations out of the lock's
critical section, to reduce hold time on the lock.

With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on
v6.0-rc6, the 160 parallel score improves by 12%.  The patch has no
obvious performance gain on v6.5-rc1 due to regression of this benchmark
from this commit f1a7941243 (mm: convert
mm's rss stats into percpu_counter).  Related discussion and conclusion

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
