Hugh Dickins 9557ba5fd3 mm/gup: local lru_add_drain() to avoid lru_add_drain_all()
[ Upstream commit a09a8a1fbb374e0053b97306da9dbc05bd384685 ]

In many cases, if collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() does need to drain
the LRU cache to release a reference, the cache in question is on this
same CPU, and much more efficiently drained by a preliminary local
lru_add_drain(), than the later cross-CPU lru_add_drain_all().

Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from
"mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".  Note for clean
backports: can take 6.16 commit a03db236ae ("gup: optimize longterm
pin_user_pages() for large folio") first.

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.
