Subject: [PATCH 09/19] mm: page_alloc: Use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps
The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This patch
reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate the bits
of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the bitmap and then
use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no other changes made in
parallel.
In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.
