Huang Ying c0a242394c mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated
When a task is allocating a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire
the zone->lock multiple times allocating pages in batches.  This may
unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when allocating very large number
of pages.  This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent
pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent allocations.

On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup.  This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service.  With the patch, the
cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from
12.6% to 11.0% (with PCP size == 367).

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.
