Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/5] mm/page_alloc: support fixed migratetype pageblock
From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>
We have migratetype facility to minimise fragmentation. It dynamically
changes migratetype of pageblock based on some criterias but it never
be perfect. Some migratetype pages are often placed in the other
migratetype pageblock. We call this pageblock as mixed pageblock.
There are two types of mixed pageblock. Movable page on unmovable
pageblock and unmovable page on movable pageblock. (I simply ignore
reclaimble migratetype/pageblock for easy explanation.) Earlier case is
not a big problem because movable page is reclaimable or migratable. We can
reclaim/migrate it when necessary so it usually doesn't contribute
fragmentation. Actual problem is caused by later case. We don't have
any way to reclaim/migrate this page and it prevents to make high order
freepage.
This later case happens when there is too less unmovable freepage. When
unmovable freepage runs out, fallback allocation happens and unmovable
allocation would be served by movable pageblock.
To solve/prevent this problem, we need to have enough unmovable freepage
to satisfy all unmovable allocation request by unmovable pageblock.
If we set enough unmovable pageblock at boot and fix it's migratetype
until power off, we would have more unmovable freepage during runtime and
mitigate above problem.
This patch provides a way to set minimum number of unmovable pageblock
at boot time. In my test, with proper setup, I can't see any mixed
pageblock where unmovable allocation stay on movable pageblock.
