Subject[PATCH v2] mm/page_alloc: call check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is not held
Date
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

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.

v2: We need to keep interrupts disabled to call __mod_zone_freepage_state()
