Rik Van Riel fcdae29aa7 [PATCH] swaptoken tuning
It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only
enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page
fault.  This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the
mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the
page fault code does.

This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the
enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and
"turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding
the token is thrashing.

Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing
control concept.

The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but
still a big win over running without the swap token.
