Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] mm/memcontrol: Change stock_lock type from local_lock_t to spinlock_t
In this context, since it's using per-cpu variables, changing from
local_lock to spinlock should not deal much impact in performance and can
allow operations such as stock draining to happen in remote cpus.
Why performance would probably not get impacted:
1 - Since the lock is in the same cache line as the information that is
written next, there is no much extra memory access cost for using the
lock.
2 - Since it's a percpu struct, there should be rare for other cpu to share
this cacheline, so there should be rare to need cacheline invalidation,
and writing to the lock should be cheap since there is always a
write to next struct members.
3 - Even the write in (2) could be pipelined and batched with following
writes to the cacheline (such as nr_pages member), further decreasing
the impact of this change.
