Back when per-vma locks were introduces, vm_lock was moved out of vm_area_struct in [1] because of the performance regression caused by false cacheline sharing. Recent investigation [2] revealed that the regressions is limited to a rather old Broadwell microarchitecture and even there it can be mitigated by disabling adjacent cacheline prefetching, see [3]. Splitting single logical structure into multiple ones leads to more complicated management, extra pointer dereferences and overall less maintainable code. When that split-away part is a lock, it complicates things even further. With no performance benefits, there are no reasons for this split. Merging the vm_lock back into vm_area_struct also allows vm_area_struct to use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU later in this patchset. This patchset: 1. moves vm_lock back into vm_area_struct, aligning it at the cacheline boundary and changing the cache to be cacheline-aligned to minimize cacheline sharing; 2. changes vm_area_struct initialization to mark new vma as detached until it is inserted into vma tree; 3. replaces vm_lock and vma->detached flag with a reference counter; 4. regroups vm_area_struct members to fit them into 3 cachelines; 5. changes vm_area_struct cache to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to allow for their reuse and to minimize call_rcu() calls.
