Subject: [PATCH] mm: Optimize put_mems_allowed() usage

Subject: mm: Optimize put_mems_allowed() usage
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>
Date: Mon Mar 26 14:13:05 CEST 2012

Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry,
we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some
relative fast-paths.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and
read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the
return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous
incarnation.
