From 1d16871d8c96deadc5f9753b6b096074f2cbcbe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:32:45 -0700 Subject: mm: batch-free pcp list if possible free_pcppages_bulk() frees pages from pcp lists in a round-robin fashion by keeping batch_free counter. But it doesn't need to spin if there is only one non-empty list. This can be checked by batch_free == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES.
