| |
Compound pages from SLUB on the free lists can occupy a fair percentage of the 512K that is currently allowed on the PCP lists. This can push out cache hot order-0 pages even though the compound page may be relatively sparsely used in the short term. This patch changes pcp->count to count pages (1 per page regardless of order) instead of accounting for the number of base pages on the list. This keeps cache hot pages on the list at the cost of the PCP lists being up to 4MB in size instead of 512K.
