From 44fdffd70504c15b617686753dfdf9eb0ddf3729 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 15:05:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: add support for releasing multiple instances of a page Add a function that allows us to batch free a page that has multiple references outstanding. Specifically this function can be used to drop a page being used in the page frag alloc cache. With this drivers can make use of functionality similar to the page frag alloc cache without having to do any workarounds for the fact that there is no function that frees multiple references.
