Yang Shi 2cee57d1b0 mm: ksm: do not block on page lock when searching stable tree 
ksmd needs to search the stable tree to look for the suitable KSM page,
but the KSM page might be locked for a while due to i.e.  KSM page rmap
walk.  Basically it is not a big deal since commit 2c653d0ee2 ("ksm:
introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page deduplication limit"), since
max_page_sharing limits the number of shared KSM pages.

But it still sounds not worth waiting for the lock, the page can be
skip, then try to merge it in the next scan to avoid potential stall if
its content is still intact.

Introduce trylock mode to get_ksm_page() to not block on page lock, like
what try_to_merge_one_page() does.  And, define three possible
operations (nolock, lock and trylock) as enum type to avoid stacking up
bools and make the code more readable.

Return -EBUSY if trylock fails, since NULL means not find suitable KSM
page, which is a valid case.

With the default max_page_sharing setting (256), there is almost no
observed change comparing lock vs trylock.

However, with ksm02 of LTP, the reduced ksmd full scan time can be
observed, which has set max_page_sharing to 786432.  With lock version,
ksmd may tak 10s - 11s to run two full scans, with trylock version ksmd
may take 8s - 11s to run two full scans.  And, the number of
pages_sharing and pages_to_scan keep same.  Basically, this change has
no harm.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
