The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: filemap: move lruvec accounting outside the xarray lock
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-filemap-move-lruvec-accounting-outside-the-xarray-lock.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: filemap: move lruvec accounting outside the xarray lock
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 05:51:22 -0700

__filemap_add_folio() inserts a folio and updates mapping->nrpages while
holding mapping->i_pages.xa_lock with interrupts disabled.  The XArray
insertion and nrpages update require the lock, but the lruvec statistic
updates do not.  With CONFIG_MEMCG, those calls also update per-CPU memcg
and lruvec counters and notify cgroup rstat, extending the critical
section.

Move the lruvec accounting after a successful XArray insertion and after
xas_unlock_irq().  The page-cache references pin the folio, while the
folio lock keeps folio->mapping stable and prevents removal until
accounting is complete.  This moves one lruvec update for ordinary folios
and a second for PMD-mappable folios out of the serialized section.

In a 30-second system-wide perf lock contention -ab capture on a
production host, the hottest caller-stack record attributed to
__filemap_add_folio() had 20,867 contentions and 557.930 ms total wait. 
That was 14% of the 3.998 seconds of aggregate lock wait in the capture. 
Moving lruvec accuting outside of critical section should help optimize
it.
