[PATCH 01/13] mm: mmu_gather rework

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: peter_zijlstra-mm-preemptible_mmu_gather.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 13634 bytes --]

Remove the first obstackle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.

The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a
small on-stack array to make some progress.

Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once
i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion
saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather
bits inside the pte_lock.

Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock,
this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it
significantly reduces pte lock hold times.
