In free_hot_cold_page(), we rely on pcp->batch remaining stable.

If cpu is off, can its pcp pageset be used in free_hot_code_page()?


I don't expect it to be as we use this_cpu_ptr() to access the pcp pageset. Unless there is some crazy mode where we can override the cpu a task believes it is running on...
