Not sure where the 135% number comes from. The above number shows a
performance decrease of 27% or a time increase of 37% which I hope is
inline with the overhead introduced by the TestSetPageLocked in the
fast path (which I didn't expect to be so bad), but that it's almost
trivial to eliminate with a smb_wmb in add_to_swap_cache and a smb_rmb
in fork. So we'll need to repeat this measurement after replacing the
TestSetPageLocked with smb_rmb.
