Subject: mm: free folios in a batch in shrink_folio_list()
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 17:42:45 +0000
Use free_unref_page_batch() to free the folios. This may increase the
number of IPIs from calling try_to_unmap_flush() more often, but that's
going to be very workload-dependent. It may even reduce the number of
IPIs as we now batch-free large folios instead of freeing them one at a
time.
