Subject[PATCH] mm, memory_hotplug: update pcp lists everytime onlining a memory block
Date
When onlining a first memory block in a zone, pcp lists are not updated
thus pcp struct will have the default setting of ->high = 0,->batch = 1.
This means till the second memory block in a zone(if it have) is onlined
the pcp lists of this zone will not contain any pages because pcp's
->count is always greater than ->high thus free_pcppages_bulk() is
called to free batch size(=1) pages every time system wants to add a
page to the pcp list through free_unref_page(). To put this in a word,
system is not using benefits offered by the pcp lists when there is a
single onlineable memory block in a zone. Correct this by always
updating the pcp lists when memory block is onlined.
