Subject: [PATCH 5/6] mm/page_alloc: Free pages in a single pass during bulk free
free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since
commit 0a5f4e5b4562 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when picking
pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists until
the zone lock is held. Now that list selection is simplier, the main
cost during selection is bulkfree_pcp_prepare() which in the normal case
is a simple check and prefetching. As the list manipulations have cost
in itself, go back to freeing pages in a single pass.
The series up to this point was evaulated using a trunc microbenchmark
that is truncating sparse files stored in page cache (mmtests config
config-io-trunc). Sparse files were used to limit filesystem interaction.
The results versus a revert of storing high-order pages in the PCP lists is

The original motivation for multi-passes was will-it-scale page_fault1
using $nr_cpu processes.

The differences are mostly within the noise and the difference close to
$nr_cpus is negligible.
