Patch series "Rearrange batched folio freeing", v3. Other than the obvious "remove calls to compound_head" changes, the fundamental belief here is that iterating a linked list is much slower than iterating an array (5-15x slower in my testing). There's also an associated belief that since we iterate the batch of folios three times, we do better when the array is small (ie 15 entries) than we do with a batch that is hundreds of entries long, which only gives us the opportunity for the first pages to fall out of cache by the time we get to the end. It is possible we should increase the size of folio_batch. Hopefully the bots let us know if this introduces any performance regressions. This patch (of 3): By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios. We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of the batch is limited by folio_batch. This does reduce the maximum number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX (32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15). I do not expect this to make a significant difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.
