There can be wrong code (like wrong gfp flags, or wrong error handling,
etc) it is just simple proof of concept. I want comment from you.

Have you read:

https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix01/full_papers/bonwick/bonwick_html/
The relevant part of that paper is section 3, magazines.  We should have
low and high water marks for number of objects


In case unknown, jfyi there is an implementation of this in drivers/iommu/iova.c

Thanks,
John

I haven't read that before, but after reading it seems not different from
SLAB's percpu queuing.
and we should allocate
from / free to the slab allocator in batches.  Slab has bulk alloc/free
APIs already.
