If Andrew's tree is not the testing baseline then the following git tree will work. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git mm-bulk-rebase-v6r7 Changelog since v5 o Add micro-optimisations from Jesper o Add array-based versions of the sunrpc and page_pool users o Allocate 1 page if local zone watermarks are not met o Fix statistics o prep_new_pages as they are allocated. Batching prep_new_pages with IRQs enabled limited how the API could be used (e.g. list must be empty) and added too much complexity. Changelog since v4 o Drop users of the API o Remove free_pages_bulk interface, no users o Add array interface o Allocate single page if watermark checks on local zones fail Changelog since v3 o Rebase on top of Matthew's series consolidating the alloc_pages API o Rename alloced to allocated o Split out preparation patch for prepare_alloc_pages o Defensive check for bulk allocation or <= 0 pages o Call single page allocation path only if no pages were allocated o Minor cosmetic cleanups o Reorder patch dependencies by subsystem. As this is a cross-subsystem series, the mm patches have to be merged before the sunrpc and net users. Changelog since v2 o Prep new pages with IRQs enabled o Minor documentation update Changelog since v1 o Parenthesise binary and boolean comparisons o Add reviewed-bys o Rebase to 5.12-rc2 This series introduces a bulk order-0 page allocator with sunrpc and the network page pool being the first users. The implementation is not efficient as semantics needed to be ironed out first. If no other semantic changes are needed, it can be made more efficient. Despite that, this is a performance-related for users that require multiple pages for an operation without multiple round-trips to the page allocator.
