Hi all,

Merry Christmas! :)

This patchset move lru_lock into lruvec, give a lru_lock for each of
lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for each of memcg per node.

We introduce function lock_page_lruvec, which will lock the page's
memcg and then memcg's lruvec->lru_lock(Thanks Johannes Weiner,
Hugh Dickins and Konstantin Khlebnikov suggestion/reminder) to replace
old pgdat->lru_lock.

Following to Daniel Jordan's suggestion, I run 208 'dd' with on 104
containers on a 2s * 26cores * HT box with a modefied case:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability.git/tree/case-lru-file-readtwice

With this patchset, the readtwice performance increased about 80%
with containers. And no performance drops w/o container.

Another way to guard move_account is by lru_lock instead of move_lock 
Considering the memcg move task path:
   mem_cgroup_move_task:
     mem_cgroup_move_charge:
	lru_add_drain_all();
	atomic_inc(&mc.from->moving_account); //ask lruvec's move_lock
	synchronize_rcu();
	walk_parge_range: do charge_walk_ops(mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range):
	   isolate_lru_page();
	   mem_cgroup_move_account(page,)
		spin_lock(&from->move_lock) 
		page->mem_cgroup = to;
		spin_unlock(&from->move_lock) 
	   putback_lru_page(page)

to guard 'page->mem_cgroup = to' by to_vec->lru_lock has the similar effect with
move_lock. So for performance reason, both solutions are same.

Thanks Hugh Dickins and Konstantin Khlebnikov, they both brought the same idea
7 years ago.

Thanks all the comments from Hugh Dickins, Konstantin Khlebnikov, Daniel Jordan, 
Johannes Weiner, Mel Gorman, Shakeel Butt, Rong Chen, Fengguang Wu, Yun Wang etc.
and some testing support from Intel 0days!

v7,
  a, rebase on v5.5-rc3, 
  b, move the lock_page_lru() clean up before lock replace.

v6, 
  a, rebase on v5.5-rc2, and do retesting.
  b, pick up Johanness' comments change and a lock_page_lru cleanup.

v5,
  a, locking page's memcg according JohannesW suggestion
  b, using macro for non memcg, according to Johanness and Metthew's suggestion.

v4: 
  a, fix the page->mem_cgroup dereferencing issue, thanks Johannes Weiner
  b, remove the irqsave flags changes, thanks Metthew Wilcox
  c, merge/split patches for better understanding and bisection purpose

v3: rebase on linux-next, and fold the relock fix patch into introduceing patch

v2: bypass a performance regression bug and fix some function issues

v1: initial version, aim testing show 5% performance increase on a 16 threads box.
