Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, are too busy to handle the per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages(). So introduce a new mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists. It is made possible by remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks. A benefit of this new scheme is that drain operations are now migration safe. There was no observed performance degradation vs. the previous scheme. Both netperf and hackbench were run in parallel to triggering the __drain_all_pages(NULL, true) code path around ~100 times per second. The new scheme performs a bit better (~5%), although the important point here is there are no performance regressions vs. the previous mechanism. Per-cpu lists draining happens only in slow paths. Minchan Kim tested an earlier version and reported; My workload is not NOHZ CPUs but run apps under heavy memory pressure so they goes to direct reclaim and be stuck on drain_all_pages until work on workqueue run. unit: nanosecond max(dur) avg(dur) count(dur) 166713013 487511.77786438033 1283 From traces, system encountered the drain_all_pages 1283 times and worst case was 166ms and avg was 487us. The other problem was alloc_contig_range in CMA. The PCP draining takes several hundred millisecond sometimes though there is no memory pressure or a few of pages to be migrated out but CPU were fully booked. Your patch perfectly removed those wasted time.

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.
