Subject: [PATCH 7/9] SUNRPC: Refresh rq_pages using a bulk page allocator
Date:   Thu, 25 Mar 2021 11:42:26 +0000
Message-Id: <20210325114228.27719-8-mgorman@techsingularity.net>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

Reduce the rate at which nfsd threads hammer on the page allocator.
This improves throughput scalability by enabling the threads to run
more independently of each other.
