page fault scalability patch V16 [4/4]: Drop page_table_lock in do_anonymous_page

2005-01-28 Thread Christoph Lameter
Do not use the page_table_lock in do_anonymous_page. This will significantly increase the parallelism in the page fault handler in SMP systems. The patch also modifies the definitions of _mm_counter functions so that rss and anon_rss become atomic. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <[EMAIL
