Kirill A. Shutemov 8c6e50b029 mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()
Here's new version of faultaround patchset.  It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.

First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.

->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff".  ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block.  If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it.  Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry.  Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure.  Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".

Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path.  We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time.  FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.

TODO:
 - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
 - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
   mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.

=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.

Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):

Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.

We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).
