11 * combination with a pagepool, so under pressure the page can
12 * be immediately freed.
13 *
14 * DF_NORMAL: Normal deferred free
15 *
16 * DF_UNDER_PRESSURE: Free was called because the system
17 * is under memory pressure. Usually
18 * from a shrinker. Avoid allocating
19 * memory in the free call, as it may
20 * fail.
