[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 3/8] mm: Scrub pages in alloc_heap_pages() if needed

[Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When allocating pages in alloc_heap_pages() first look for clean pages. If none
is found then retry, take pages marked as unscrubbed and scrub them.

Note that we shouldn't find unscrubbed pages in alloc_heap_pages() yet. However,
this will become possible when we stop scrubbing from free_heap_pages() and
instead do it from idle loop.
