[PATCH 7/9] SUNRPC: Refresh rq_pages using a bulk page allocator

From: Mel Gorman <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-25 11:44:36
Also in: linux-mm, linux-nfs, lkml
Subsystem: kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, networking [general], nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

From: Chuck Lever <redacted>

Reduce the rate at which nfsd threads hammer on the page allocator.
This improves throughput scalability by enabling the threads to run
more independently of each other.
