[PATCH 5.15 56/73] mm/page_alloc: call check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is not held

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3313204c8ad553cf93f1ee8cc89456c73a7df938 ]

For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the
costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs
masked.

This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone
spinlock contention.

Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before
deciding to leak the page because it is in bad state.
