Subject: mm/page_alloc: cache page_zone() result in free_unref_page()
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 21:01:33 +0000
Patch series "Allocate and free frozen pages", v3.
Slab does not need to use the page refcount at all, and it can avoid an
atomic operation on page free. Hugetlb wants to delay setting the
refcount until it has assembled a complete gigantic page. We already have
the ability to freeze a page (safely reduce its reference count to 0), so
this patchset adds APIs to allocate and free pages which are in a frozen
state.
This patchset is also a step towards the Glorious Future in which struct
page doesn't have a refcount; the users which need a refcount will have
one in their per-allocation memdesc.
This patch (of 15):
Save 17 bytes of text by calculating page_zone() once instead of twice.
