We currently have to do an GFP_ATOMIC allocation because the list_lock is already taken when we first allocate memory for tracking allocation information. It would be better if we could avoid atomic allocations. Allocate a size of the tracking table that is usually sufficient (one page) before we take the list lock. We will then only do the atomic allocation if we need to resize the table to become larger than a page (mostly only needed under large NUMA because of the tracking of cpus and nodes otherwise the table stays small).
