Mel Gorman 24b7e5819a mm: pagemap: avoid unnecessary overhead when tracepoints are deactivated 
This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.

The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.

This series is what's left.  It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general.  tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.

On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

System        403.83      401.74
Elapsed      5411.50     5413.11

On a 4-socket NUMA machine it's a bit more noticable

This patch (of 6):

The LRU insertion and activate tracepoints take PFN as a parameter
forcing the overhead to the caller.  Move the overhead to the tracepoint
fast-assign method to ensure the cost is only incurred when the
tracepoint is active.
