Linux kernel source tree

There seem to be several categories of calls to lru_add_drain and lru_add_drain_all. The first are code paths that recently allocated, swapped in, or otherwise processed a batch of pages, and want them all on the LRU. These drain pages that were recently allocated, probably on the local CPU. A second category are code paths that are actively trying to reclaim, migrate, or offline memory. These often use lru_add_drain_all, to drain the caches on all CPUs. However, there also seem to be some other callers where we aren't really doing either. They are calling lru_add_drain(), despite operating on pages that may have been allocated long ago, and quite possibly on different CPUs. Those calls are not likely to be effective at anything but creating lock contention on the LRU locks. Remove the lru_add_drain calls in the latter category. For detailed reasoning, see [1] and [2].

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 reStructuredText 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.
