Linux kernel source tree

Currently, we have a sort of retry mechanism to make sure pages in pcp-lists are spilled to the buddy system, so we can handle those. We can save us this extra checks with the new disable-pcplist mechanism that is available with [1]. zone_pcplist_disable makes sure to 1) disable pcplists, so any page that is freed up from that point onwards will end up in the buddy system and 2) drain pcplists, so those pages that already in pcplists are spilled to buddy. With that, we can make a common entry point for grabbing a refcount from both soft_offline and memory_failure paths that is guarded by zone_pcplist_disable/zone_pcplist_enable.

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.
