As such, the new 'force all cpus' param of __drain_all_pages() is never exported outside page_alloc.c so I didn't add a new wrapper function to hide the bool - keep pcp_batch_high_lock a mutex as offline_pages is synchronized anyway, as suggested by Michal. Thus we don't need atomic variable and sync around it, and patch is much smaller. If alloc_contic_range() wants to use the new functionality and keep parallelism, we can add that on top. As per the discussions [1] [2] this is an attempt to implement David's suggestion that page isolation should disable pcplists to avoid races with page freeing in progress. This is done without extra checks in fast paths, as explained in Patch 9. The repeated draining done by [2] is then no longer needed. Previous version (RFC) is at [3]. The RFC tried to hide pcplists disabling/enabling into page isolation, but it wasn't completely possible, as memory offline does not unisolation. Michal suggested an explicit API in [4] so that's the current implementation and it seems indeed nicer. Once we accept that page isolation users need to do explicit actions around it depending on the needed guarantees, we can also IMHO accept that the current pcplist draining can be also done by the callers, which is more effective. After all, there are only two users of page isolation. So patch 6 does effectively the same thing as Pavel proposed in [5], and patch 7 implement stronger guarantees only for memory offline. If CMA decides to opt-in to the stronger guarantee, it can be added later. Patches 1-5 are preparatory cleanups for pcplist disabling. Patchset was briefly tested in QEMU so that memory online/offline works, but I haven't done a stress test that would prove the race fixed by [2] is eliminated. Note that patch 7 could be avoided if we instead adjusted page freeing in shown in [6], but I believe the current implementation of disabling pcplists is not too much complex, so I would prefer this instead of adding new checks and longer irq-disabled section into page freeing hotpaths.
