Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] mm/vmstat: remove remote node draining
References: <20230303195841.310844446@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

Draining of pages from the local pcp for a remote zone should not be
necessary, since once the system is low on memory (or compaction on a
zone is in effect), drain_all_pages should be called freeing any unused
pcps.

For reference, the original commit which introduces remote node
draining is 4037d452202e34214e8a939fa5621b2b3bbb45b7.
