The patch titled
Subject: mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock
Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had
IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock(). This
confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what
zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular.
This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page()
instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs.
free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected
by the local lock. free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages
to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to
the PCP via free_unref_page_commit(). The end result is that
free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be
correct.
Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is
running but that is not a common operation.
[lkp@xxxxxxxxx: Ensure CMA pages get addded to correct pcp list]
