Subject: [PATCH 11/14] staging: ion: Add private buffer flag to skip page pooling on free
From: Mitchel Humpherys <mitchelh@...eaurora.org>
Currently, when we free a buffer it might actually just go back into a
heap-specific page pool rather than going back to the system. This poses
a problem because sometimes (like when we're running a shrinker in low
memory conditions) we need to force the memory associated with the
buffer to truly be relinquished to the system rather than just going
back into a page pool.
There isn't a use case for this flag by Ion clients, so make it a
private flag. The main use case right now is to provide a mechanism for
the deferred free code to force stale buffers to bypass page pooling.
