[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/swap.c: reduce lock contention in lru_cache_add
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swapc-reduce-lock-contention-in-lru_cache_add.patch

This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn

Subject: mm/swap.c: reduce lock contention in lru_cache_add

The current relock logic will change lru_lock when it finds a new lruvec,
so if 2 memcgs are reading a file or allocating pages at same time, they
could hold the lru_lock alternately, and wait for each other for fairness
attribute of ticket spin lock.

This patch will sort all lru_locks and only hold them once in the above
scenario.  That could reduce fairness waiting for lock reacquision. 
vm-scalability/case-lru-file-readtwice gets a ~5% performance gain on my
2P*20core*HT machine.

Testing when all or most of the pages belong to the same lruvec show no
regression - most time is spent on lru_lock for lru sensitive cases.
