[RFC PATCH 0/4] pre sort pages on lruvec in pagevec

This idea was tried on per memcg lru lock patchset v18, and had a good
result, about 5%~20+% performance gain on lru lock busy benchmarks,
like case-lru-file-readtwice.

But on the latest kernel, I can not reproduce the result on my box.
Also I can not reproduce Tim's performance gain too on my box.

So I don't know if it's workable in some scenario, just sent out if
someone has interesting...

Alex Shi (4):
mm/swap.c: pre-sort pages in pagevec for pagevec_lru_move_fn
mm/swap.c: bail out early for no memcg and no numa
mm/swap.c: extend the usage to pagevec_lru_add
mm/swap.c: no sort if all page's lruvec are same
