Hi, just two quick observations, maybe discussion pointers for the
LSF/MM session:
- it's weird that find_alloc_contig_pages() takes an order, and
free_contig_pages() takes a nr_pages. I suspect the interface would be
more future-proof with both using nr_pages? Perhaps also minimum
alignment for the allocation side? Order is fine for hugetlb, but what
about other potential users?
- contig_alloc_migratetype_ok() says that MIGRATE_CMA blocks are OK to
allocate from. This silently assumes that everything allocated by this
will be migratable itself, or it might eat CMA reserves. Is it the case?
Also you then call alloc_contig_range() with MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it will
skip/fail on MIGRATE_CMA anyway IIRC.
