Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 02/16] mm/compaction: support non-lru movable page
 migration

Indeed. The title is rather misleading but not sure it's a good idea
to separate compaction and migration part.
I will just resend to change the tile from "mm/compaction" to
"mm/migration".

Indeed. I surprised I didn't miss because I wrote it down somewhere
but might miss it during rebase.
I will fix it.

Both:
ClearPageIsolated undert PG_lock.

Yes, it's better to change ClearPageIsolated to __ClearPageIsolated.

For now, we shouldn't have such a false positive because PageMovable
checks page->_mapcount == PAGE_MOVABLE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE as well as PG_movable
under PG_lock.

But I read your question about user-mapped drvier pages so we cannot
use _mapcount anymore so I will find another thing. A option is this.

static inline int PageMovable(struct page *page)
{
        int ret = 0;
        struct address_space *mapping;
        struct address_space_operations *a_op;

        if (!test_bit(PG_movable, &(page->flags))
                goto out;

        mapping = page->mapping;
        if (!mapping)
                goto out;

        a_op = mapping->a_op;
        if (!aop)
                goto out;
        if (a_op->isolate_page)
                ret = 1;
out:
        return ret;

}

It works under PG_lock but with this, we need trylock_page to peek
whether it's movable non-lru or not for scanning pfn.
For avoiding that, we need another function to peek which just checks
PG_movable bit instead of all things.


/*
 * If @page_locked is false, we cannot guarantee page->mapping's stability
 * so just the function checks with PG_movable which could be false positive
 * so caller should check it again under PG_lock to check a_ops->isolate_page.
 */
static inline int PageMovable(struct page *page, bool page_locked)
{
        int ret = 0;
        struct address_space *mapping;
        struct address_space_operations *a_op;

        if (!test_bit(PG_movable, &(page->flags))
                goto out;

        if (!page_locked) {
                ret = 1;
                goto out;
        }

        mapping = page->mapping;
        if (!mapping)
                goto out;

        a_op = mapping->a_op;
        if (!aop)
                goto out;
        if (a_op->isolate_page)
                ret = 1;
out:
        return ret;
}

It needs to avoid false positive as I said.

Absolutely true. I will rethink about it.

As I mentioned, using a_ops->isolate_page needs to be done under PG_lock.
And the idea I suggested above will work, I guess.
I will try it.
