Wei Yang d9367bd06f mm, page_alloc: enable pcpu_drain with zone capability
drain_all_pages is documented to drain per-cpu pages for a given zone (if
non-NULL).  The current implementation doesn't match the description
though.  It will drain all pcp pages for all zones that happen to have
cached pages on the same cpu as the given zone.  This will lead to
premature pcp cache draining for zones that are not of any interest to the
caller - e.g.  compaction, hwpoison or memory offline.

This forces the page allocator to take locks and potential lock contention
as a result.

There is no real reason for this sub-optimal implementation.  Replace
per-cpu work item with a dedicated structure which contains a pointer to
the zone and pass it over to the worker.  This will get the zone
information all the way down to the worker function and do the right job.

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.
