Most workloads will allocate a bunch of memory objects, work on them and then freeing all or most of them. So just having a percpu free pool may not reduce the pool_lock contention significantly if large number of objects are being used. To help those situations, we are now doing lookahead allocation and freeing of the debug objects into and out of the percpu free pool. This will hopefully reduce the number of times the pool_lock needs to be taken and hence its contention level.
