The contention on the global pool lock can be reduced by strict batch processing where batches of objects are moved from one list head to another instead of moving them object by object. This also reduces the cache footprint because it avoids the list walk and dirties at maximum three cache lines instead of potentially up to eighteen. To prepare for that, move the hlist head and related counters into a struct. No functional change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
