These relock functions have no users in this patch. It might make
sense and push this code to patch 19 in your series since that is
where they are first used. In addition they don't seem very efficient
as you already had to call mem_cgroup_page_lruvec once, why do it
again when you could just store the value and lock the new lruvec if
needed?
Right, it's better to move for late patch.

As to call the func again, mainly it's for code neat.

Thanks!

Any reason for placing this here instead of at the end of the
structure? From what I can tell it looks like lruvec is already 128B
long so placing the lock on the end would put it into the next
cacheline which may provide some performance benefit since it is
likely to be bounced quite a bit.
Rong Chen(Cced) once reported a performance regression when the lock at
the end of struct, and move here could remove it.
Although I can't not reproduce. But I trust his report.

 putback:
-               spin_unlock_irq(&zone->zone_pgdat->lru_lock);
                pagevec_add(&pvec_putback, pvec->pages[i]);
                pvec->pages[i] = NULL;
        }

+       if (lruvec)
+               unlock_page_lruvec_irq(lruvec);
So I am not a fan of this change. You went to all the trouble of
reducing the lock scope just to bring it back out here again. In
addition it implies there is a path where you might try to update the
page state without disabling interrupts.
Right. but any idea to avoid this except a extra local_irq_disable?

This just kind of seems ugly to me. I am not a fan of having to fetch
the lruvec twice when you already have it in new_lruvec. I suppose it
is fine though since you are just going to be replacing it later
anyway.
yes, it will be reproduce later.

Thanks
