Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock

From: Kairui Song <kasong@...cent.com>

This series removes the global swap cgroup lock. The critical section of
this lock is very short but it's still a bottle neck for mass parallel
swap workloads.

Up to 10% performance gain for tmpfs build kernel test on a 48c96t
system under memory pressure, and no regression for other cases:

V2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20241210092805.87281-1-ryncsn@gmail.com/
Updates since V2:
- Micro optimization for bit operations in patch 3 [Chris Li]
- Improve BUILD_BUG_ON to cover potential arch corner cases [Chris Li]
- Introduce patch 4, make the swap_cgroup tracking code more
   robust [Chris Li]

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20241202184154.19321-1-ryncsn@gmail.com/
Updates since V1:
- Collect Review and Ack.
- Use bit shift instead of a mixed usage of short and atomic for
  emulating 2 byte xchg [Chris Li]
- Merge patch 3 into patch 4 for simplicity [Roman Gushchin].
- Drop call of mem_cgroup_disabled instead in patch 1, also fix bot
  build error [Yosry Ahmed]
- Wrap the access of the atomic_t map with helpers properly, so the
  emulation can be dropped to use native 2 byte xchg once available.

Kairui Song (4):
  mm, memcontrol: avoid duplicated memcg enable check
  mm/swap_cgroup: remove swap_cgroup_cmpxchg
  mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock
  mm/swap_cgroup: decouple swap cgroup recording and clearing
