Patch series "mm: push down lock_page_memcg()", v2. This patch (of 3): During charge moving, the pte lock and the page lock cover nearly all cases of stabilizing page_mapped(). The only exception is when we're looking at a non-present pte and find a page in the page cache or in the swapcache: if the page is mapped elsewhere, it can become unmapped outside of our control. For this reason, rmap needs lock_page_memcg(). We don't like cgroup-specific locks in generic MM code - especially in performance-critical MM code - and for a legacy feature that's unlikely to have many users left - if any. So remove the exception. Arguably that's better semantics anyway: the page is shared, and another process seems to be the more active user. Once we stop moving such pages, rmap doesn't need lock_page_memcg() anymore. The next patch will remove it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
