[PATCH 81/97] mm: do not use atomic operations when releasing pages

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Aug 28 2014 - 14:47:03 EST


commit e3741b506c5088fa8c911bb5884c430f770fb49d upstream.

There should be no references to it any more and a parallel mark should
not be reordered against us. Use non-locked varient to clear page active.
