Subject: drain_node_page(): Drain pages in batch units
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
drain_node_pages() currently drains the complete pageset of all pages. If
there are a large number of pages in the queues then we may hold off
interrupts for too long.
Duplicate the method used in free_hot_cold_page. Only drain pcp->batch
pages at one time.
