When there are batched freeing operations on a specific CPU, part of the freed elements ((high_watermark - lower_watermark) / 2 + 1) will be indirectly moved into waiting_for_gp list through free_by_rcu list. After call_rcu_in_progress becomes false again, the remaining elements in free_by_rcu list will be moved to waiting_for_gp list by the next invocation of free_bulk(). However if the expiration of RCU tasks trace grace period is relatively slow, none element in free_by_rcu list will be moved. So instead of invoking __alloc_percpu_gfp() or kmalloc_node() to allocate a new object, in alloc_bulk() just check whether or not there is freed element in free_by_rcu list and reuse it if available.

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.
