[PATCH RFC 14/15] mm: optimize putback for 0-order reclaim

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Wed Feb 15 2012 - 17:58:07 EST


At 0-order reclaim all pages are taken from one book,
thus we don't need to recheck and relock page_book on putback.

Maybe it would be better to collect lumpy-isolated pages into
separate list and handle them independently.
