Specifically this function can be used to drop +a page being used in the page frag alloc cache. With this drivers can +make use of functionality similar to the page frag alloc cache without +having to do any workarounds for the fact that there is no function that +frees multiple references. + +Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161110113606.76501.70752.stgit@ahduyck-blue-test.jf.intel.com +Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> +Cc: "David S.
