The new free_pcp_prepare() function shares a lot of code with free_pages_prepare(), which makes this a maintenance risk when some future patch modifies only one of them. We should be able to achieve the same effect (skipping free_pages_check() from !DEBUG_VM configs) by adding a parameter to free_pages_prepare() and making it inline, so the checks (and the order != 0 parts) are eliminated from the call from free_pcp_prepare(). !DEBUG_VM: bloat-o-meter reports no difference, as my gcc was already inlining free_pages_prepare() and the elimination seems to work as expected DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 1035/-778 (257) function old new delta __free_pages_ok 297 1060 +763 free_hot_cold_page 480 752 +272 free_pages_prepare 778 - -778 Here inlining didn't occur before, and added some code, but it's ok for a debug option.
