Huang Ying 57c0419c5f mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark
One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is
too few.  To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the
zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating
path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path.  But this may
be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency
for some workloads.  So, in this patch, during page allocation we will
detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high
watermark.  If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path,
decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path.  With this, we can
reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused
by too large PCP.

The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the
overhead in hotter freeing path.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
