From: Mike Rapoport <rppt(a)linux.ibm.com&gt; The check in gup_pte_range() whether a page belongs to a secretmem mapping is performed before grabbing the page reference. To avoid potential race move the check after try_grab_compound_head().

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt(a)linux.ibm.com&gt; Kernel test robot reported -4.2% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit "mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas". The perf profile of the test indicated that the regression is caused by page_is_secretmem() called from gup_pte_range() (inlined by gup_pgd_range): 27.76 +2.5 30.23 perf-profile.children.cycles-pp.gup_pgd_range 0.00 +3.2 3.19 ± 2% perf-profile.children.cycles-pp.page_mapping 0.00 +3.7 3.66 ± 2% perf-profile.children.cycles-pp.page_is_secretmem Further analysis showed that the slow down happens because neither page_is_secretmem() nor page_mapping() are not inline and moreover, multiple page flags checks in page_mapping() involve calling compound_head() several times for the same page. Make page_is_secretmem() inline and replace page_mapping() with page flag checks that do not imply page-to-head conversion.
