This patch is against Mel's git-tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git
Using branch: mm-bulk-rebase-v4r2 but replacing the last patch related to
the page_pool using __alloc_pages_bulk().
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux.git/log/?h=mm-bulk-rebase-v4r2
While implementing suggestions by Alexander Duyck, I realised that I could
simplify the code further, and simply take the last page from the
pool->alloc.cache given this avoids special casing the last page.
I re-ran performance tests and the improvement have been reduced to 13% from
18% before, but I don't think the rewrite of the specific patch have
anything to do with this.
Notes on tests:
