For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs masked. This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone spinlock contention. Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before deciding to leak the page because it is in bad state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
