Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] mm, page_alloc: free HIGHATOMIC page directly to the allocator

From: Wenwei Tao <ww.tao0320@...il.com>

Some pages might have already been allocated before reserve
the pageblock as HIGHATOMIC. When free these pages, put them
directly to the allocator instead of the pcp lists since they
might have the chance to be merged to high order pages.
