[ Upstream commit b6976f323a8687cc0d55bc92c2086fd934324ed5 ]
We only pool write combined and uncached allocations because they
require extra overhead on allocation and release.
If we also pool cached NUMA it not only means some extra unnecessary
overhead, but also that under memory pressure it can happen that
pages from the wrong NUMA node enters the pool and are re-used
over and over again.
This can lead to performance reduction after running into memory
pressure.
v2: restructure and cleanup the code a bit from the internal hack to
test this.

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.
