[PATCH RFC v3 10/35] mm: cma: Fast track allocating memory when the pages are free
From: Alexandru Elisei
Date: Thu Jan 25 2024 - 11:48:05 EST
If the pages to be allocated are free, take them directly off the buddy
allocator, instead of going through alloc_contig_range() and avoiding
costly calls to lru_cache_disable().
Only allocations of the same size as the CMA region order are considered,
to avoid taking the zone spinlock for too long.

Changes since rfc v2:
* New patch. Reworked from the rfc v2 patch #26 ("arm64: mte: Fast track
reserving tag storage when the block is free") (David Hildenbrand).
