[PATCH 10/13] Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same pageblock_nr_pages areas

Subject: Bias the location of pages freed for min_free_kbytes in the same pageblock_nr_pages areas The standard buddy allocator always favours splitting the smallest block of pages. The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends to be preserved since boot time at the

[PATCH 11/13] Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower pfns

Subject: Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower pfns This patch chooses blocks with lower PFNs when placing kernel allocations. This is particularly important during fallback in low memory situations to stop unmovable pages being placed throughout the entire address space. Signed-off-by:

[PATCH 4/13] Split the free lists for movable and unmovable allocations

Doing a normal kernel build will link vmlinux three or four times. If we introduce --gc-sections we should add a preparational link of vmlinux where we use --gc-sections and skip it for the rest of the links assuming that --gc-sections takes some time for ld to do. Yes, this will
