Try to streamline free_pages_bulk by ensuring callers don't pass in a
'count' that exceeds the list size.
Some cleanups:
Rename __free_pages_bulk to __free_one_page.
Put the page list manipulation from __free_pages_ok into free_one_page.
Make __free_pages_ok static.

Use zone_pcp everywhere even though NUMA code "knows" the internal details
of the zone. Stop other people trying to copy, and it looks nicer.
Also, only print the pagesets of online cpus in zoneinfo.

As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and
high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists. This patch makes these two
variables configurable through /proc interface.
A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added. This entry
controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for
each per cpu page list. The min value for this is 8. It means that we
don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any
single per_cpu_pagelist.
The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result. It
is set to pcp->high/4. The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)

Optimise page_state manipulations by introducing interrupt unsafe accessors
to page_state fields. Callers must provide their own locking (either
disable interrupts or not update from interrupt context).
Switch over the hot callsites that can easily be moved under interrupts off

The use k in the inner loop means that the highest zone nr is always used
if any zone of a node is populated. This means that the policy zone is not
correctly determined on arches that do no use HIGHMEM like ia64.
Change the loop to decrement k which also simplifies the BUG_ON.

Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side
effect to set the policy_zone. This seems to be a bit strange. policy
zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0. Do we police
ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet?
This patch moves the determination of the zone to apply policies to into
the page allocator. We determine the zone while building the zonelist for
nodes.

The attached patch cleans up the way the bootmem allocator frees pages.
A new function, __free_pages_bootmem(), is provided in mm/page_alloc.c that is
called from mm/bootmem.c to turn pages over to the main allocator. All the
bits of code to initialise pages (clearing PG_reserved and setting the page
count) are moved to here. The checks on page validity are removed, on the
assumption that the struct page arrays will have been prepared correctly.

bad_range is supposed to be a temporary check. It would be a pity to throw it
out. Make it depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM instead.

The NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES config option was created so that DISCONTIGMEM
could handle pSeries numa layouts. However, support for DISCONTIGMEM has
been replaced by SPARSEMEM on powerpc. As a result, this config option and
supporting code is no longer needed.
I have already sent a patch to Paul that removes the option from powerpc
specific code. This removes the arch independent piece. Doesn't really
matter which is applied first.

Two changes to the setting of the ALLOC_CPUSET flag in
mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages()
- A bug fix - the "ignoring mins" case should not be honoring ALLOC_CPUSET.
This case of all cases, since it is handling a request that will free up
more memory than is asked for (exiting tasks, e.g.) should be allowed to
escape cpuset constraints when memory is tight.
- A logic change to make it simpler. Honor cpusets even on GFP_ATOMIC
(!wait) requests. With this, cpuset confinement applies to all requests
except ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, so that in a subsequent cleanup patch, I can
remove the ALLOC_CPUSET flag entirely. Since I don't know any real reason
this logic has to be either way, I am choosing the path of the simplest
code.
