From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_alloc: move free_the_page Patch series "Allow high order pages to be stored on PCP", v2. The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only handles order-0 pages. With the series "Use local_lock for pcp protection and reduce stat overhead" and "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", it's now feasible to store high-order pages on PCP lists. This small series allows PCP to store "cheap" orders where cheap is determined by PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and THP-sized allocations. This patch (of 2): In the next page, free_compount_page is going to use the common helper free_the_page. This patch moves the definition to ease review. No functional change.
