Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm: check global free_list if there is ongoing reclaiming when pcp fail
Date:   Fri, 16 Sep 2022 18:58:12 +0800

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>

Check the global free list again even if rmqueue_bulk failed for pcp pages when
there is ongoing reclaiming, which could eliminate potential direct reclaim by
