Subject: [PATCH 0/8] binder: faster page installations
The main focus of these patches is to improve the performance of binder
page installations, primarily by reducing contention on the mmap_lock.
The idea is to allow concurrent page insertion by leveraging per-vma
locking and folio_walk_start().
Unfortunately, this required reverting the alloc->lock spinlock back
into a mutex in order to serialize with the shrinker. At least until
finding a better solution e.g. support page zapping with a spinlock.
The trade off is still quite worth it though.
Other patches are also included that remove unsafe and redundant things
such as the alloc->vma pointer or the struct binder_lru_page concept.
Note: I'll work on setting up a page fault handler for binder next.
I believe an idea from Alice Ryhl to deferred the page insertions will
make this finally feasible. I only need to figure out a few performance
bits but if/when done most of the manual page insertion code in binder
could be dropped. :)
