mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for shmem mappings
The previous patch has improved swap accounting for shmem mapping, which however made /proc/pid/smaps more expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). We can reduce this significantly for mappings that cannot contain COWed pages, because then we can either use the statistics tha shmem object itself tracks (if the mapping contains the whole object, or the swap usage of the whole object is zero), or use the radix tree iterator, which is much more effective than repeated find_get_entry() calls. This patch therefore introduces a function shmem_swap_usage(vma) and makes /proc/pid/smaps use it when possible. Only for writable private mappings of shmem objects (i.e. tmpfs files) with the shmem object itself (partially) swapped outwe have to resort to the find_get_entry() approach. Hopefully such mappings are relatively uncommon. To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Private writable mapping of a /dev/shm/file (the most complex case): real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s Shared mapping of an almost full mapping of a partially swapped /dev/shm/file (which needs to employ the radix tree iterator). real 0m1.351s user 0m0.096s sys 0m0.768s Same, but with /dev/shm/file not swapped (so no radix tree walk needed) real 0m0.935s user 0m0.128s sys 0m0.344s Private anonymous mapping: real 0m0.949s user 0m0.116s sys 0m0.348s The cost is now much closer to the private anonymous mapping case, unless the shmem mapping is private and writable.
