| 2009-09-22 | mm: reduce atomic use on use_mm fast path | Michael S. Tsirkin | |
| When the mm being switched to matches the active mm, we don't need to increment and then drop the mm count. In a simple benchmark this happens in about 50% of time. Making that conditional reduces contention on that cacheline on SMP systems. Acked-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

| 2009-09-22 | mm: move use_mm/unuse_mm from aio.c to mm/ | Michael S. Tsirkin | |
| Anyone who wants to do copy to/from user from a kernel thread, needs use_mm (like what fs/aio has). Move that into mm/, to make reusing and exporting easier down the line, and make aio use it. Next intended user, besides aio, will be vhost-net. Acked-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
