mm/compaction: split freepages without holding the zone lock
We don't need to split freepages with holding the zone lock. It will cause more contention on zone lock so not desirable. [rientjes@google.com: if __isolate_free_page() fails, avoid adding to freelist so we don't call map_pages() with it] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.10.1606211447001.43430@chino.kir.corp.google.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464230275-25791-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
