Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE
Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed,
it can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time. This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage
pool at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.
This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable. When
a non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page
pool will use ZONE_MOVABLE. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.
