Howlett" , Vlastimil Babka , Mike Rapoport , Suren Baghdasaryan , Michal Hocko , Brendan Jackman , Johannes Weiner , Zi Yan , linux-mm@kvack.org Subject: [PATCH v5 23/28] mm: add free_frozen_pages_zeroed Message-ID: References: Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.27.0.106.g8ac3dc51b1 X-Mutt-Fcc: =sent Add free_frozen_pages_zeroed(page, order) to free a frozen page while marking it as zeroed, so the next allocation can skip redundant zeroing. An FPI_ZEROED internal flag carries the hint through the free path. PageZeroed is set after __free_pages_prepare() clears all flags, so the hint survives on the free list. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
