Re: [RFC][PATCH] mm: the page of MIGRATE_RESERVE don't insert into pcp



Oh, do you mean splitting the list instead of searching? This is how it was
originally implement and shot down on the grounds it increased the size of
a per-cpu structure.

The situation may be better with the cpu_alloc stuff. The big pcp array in
struct zone for all possible processors will be gone and thus the memory
requirements will be less.

Yup, there are very nicer patch!
