userfaultfd: move userfaultfd_ctx struct to header file
Patch series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd", v7.
Performing userfaultfd operations (like copy/move etc.) in critical
section of mmap_lock (read-mode) causes significant contention on the lock
when operations requiring the lock in write-mode are taking place
concurrently. We can use per-vma locks instead to significantly reduce
the contention issue.
Android runtime's Garbage Collector uses userfaultfd for concurrent
compaction. mmap-lock contention during compaction potentially causes
jittery experience for the user. During one such reproducible scenario,
we observed the following improvements with this patch-set:
- Wall clock time of compaction phase came down from ~3s to <500ms
- Uninterruptible sleep time (across all threads in the process) was
~10ms (none in mmap_lock) during compaction, instead of >20s
This patch (of 4):
Move the struct to userfaultfd_k.h to be accessible from mm/userfaultfd.c.
There are no other changes in the struct.
This is required to prepare for using per-vma locks in userfaultfd
operations.
