The patch titled Subject: mm/page_alloc: move set_page_refcounted() to callers of __alloc_pages_slowpath() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-page_alloc-move-set_page_refcounted-to-callers-of-__alloc_pages_slowpath.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-page_alloc-move-set_page_refcounted-to-callers-of-__alloc_pages_slowpath.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_alloc: move set_page_refcounted() to callers of __alloc_pages_slowpath() Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 21:01:43 +0000 In preparation for allocating frozen pages, stop initialising the page refcount in __alloc_pages_slowpath().
