Ming Lei 81f28946a8 ARM: 7746/1: mm: lazy cache flushing on non-mapped pages
Currently flush_dcache_page() thinks pages as non-mapped if
mapping_mapped(mapping) return false. This approach is very
coase:
	- mmap on part of file may cause all pages backed on
	the file being thought as mmaped

	- file-backed pages aren't mapped into user space actually
	if the memory mmaped on the file isn't accessed

This patch uses page_mapped() to decide if the page has been
mapped.

From the attached test code, I find there is much performance
improvement(>25%) when accessing page caches via read under this
situations, so memcpy benefits a lot from not flushing cache
under this situation.

1), No.0. is to read the file from storage device, and others are
to read the file from page caches basically.
2), file size is 512M, and is on ext4 over usb mass storage.
3), the test is done on Pandaboard.

unsigned int  sum = 0;
unsigned long sum_val = 0;

static unsigned long tv_diff(struct timeval *tv1, struct timeval *tv2)
{
	return (tv2->tv_sec - tv1->tv_sec) * 1000000 +
		(tv2->tv_usec - tv1->tv_usec);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char *mbuf, fbuf;
	int fd;
	int i;
	unsigned long page_size, size;
	struct stat stat;
	struct timeval t1, t2;
	unsigned char *rbuf = malloc(32 * page_size);

	if (!rbuf) {
		printf("	%sn", "malloc failed");
		exit(-1);
	}

	page_size = getpagesize();
	fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
	assert(fd >= 0);

	fstat(fd, &stat);
	size = stat.st_size;
	printf("%s: file %s, size %lu, page size %lun",
		argv[0],
		argv[1], size, page_size);

	gettimeofday(&t1, NULL);
	mbuf = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	if (!mbuf) {
		printf("	%sn", "mmap failed");
		exit(-1);
	}

	for (i = 0 ; i < size ; i += (page_size * 32)) {
		int rcnt;
		lseek(fd, i, SEEK_SET);
		rcnt = read(fd, rbuf, page_size * 32);
		if (rcnt != page_size * 32) {
			printf("%s: read faildn", __func__);
			exit(-1);
		}
	}
	free(rbuf);
	munmap(mbuf, size);
	gettimeofday(&t2, NULL);
	printf("tread mmaped time: %luusn", tv_diff(&t1, &t2));

	close(fd);
