While freeing a large list, the zone lock will be released and reacquired
to avoid long hold times since commit c24ad77d962c ("mm/page_alloc.c:
avoid excessive IRQ disabled times in free_unref_page_list()"). As
suggested by Vlastimil Babka, the lockrelease/reacquire logic can be
simplified by reusing the logic that acquires a different lock when
changing zones.

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.
