These delays was caused by the long time it took to scan the VMA interval tree with mmap_sem held. The sharing of huge PMD does not require changes to the i_mmap at all. Therefore, we can just take the read lock and let other threads searching for the right VMA to share it in parallel. Once the right VMA is found, either the PMD lock (2M huge page for x86-64) or the mm->page_table_lock will be acquired to perform the actual PMD sharing. Lock contention, if present, will happen in the spinlock. That is much better than contention in the rwsem where the time needed to scan the the interval tree is indeterminate. With this patch applied, the customer is seeing significant performance improvement over the unpatched kernel.
