[PATCH 1/4] mm: introduce single zone pcplists drain

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Thu Oct 02 2014 - 11:50:44 EST


The functions for draining per-cpu pages back to buddy allocators currently
always operate on all zones. There are however several cases where the drain
is only needed in the context of a single zone, and spilling other pcplists
is a waste of time both due to the extra spilling and later refilling.

This patch introduces new zone pointer parameter to drain_all_pages() and
changes the dummy parameter of drain_local_pages() to be also a zone pointer.
When NULL is passed, the functions operate on all zones as usual. Passing a
specific zone pointer reduces the work to the single zone.

All callers are updated to pass the NULL pointer in this patch. Conversion
to single zone (where appropriate) is done in further patches.
