From 3313204c8ad553cf93f1ee8cc89456c73a7df938 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 14:43:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: call check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is not held For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs masked. This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone spinlock contention. Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before deciding to leak the page because it is in bad state.
