    mm: introduce single zone pcplists drain · 93481ff0
    Vlastimil Babka authored
    
    
    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.
