A nitpick.
I personaly would like to put MIGRATE_ISOLATE to be bottom of enum because it
means _not_for_allocation.

Why fallbacks[0] ? and why do you need to change this ?

Hmm, doesn't this meet your changes which makes MIGRATE_CMA > MIGRATE_PCPLIST ?
And I think putting mixture of pages marked of MIGRATE_TYPE onto a pcplist is ugly.
Could you make this cleaner ?

Doesn't this add *BAD* performance impact for usual use of pages marked as
MIGRATE_CMA ? IIUC, All pcp pages must be _drained_ at page migration after
making migrate_type as ISOLATED. So, this change should be unnecessary.
BTW, How about changing MIGRATE_CMA < MIGRATE_PCPTYPES ? and allow to have
it's own pcp list ?
I think

again:
if (likely(order == 0)) {
struct per_cpu_pages *pcp;
struct list_head *list;
local_irq_save(flags);
pcp = &this_cpu_ptr(zone->pageset)->pcp;
list = &pcp->lists[migratetype];
if (list_empty(list)) {
pcp->count += rmqueue_bulk(zone, 0,
pcp->batch, list,
migratetype, cold);
if (unlikely(list_empty(list))) {
+ if (migrate_type == MIGRATE_MOVABLE) { /*allow extra fallback*/
+ migrate_type == MIGRATE_CMA
+ goto again;
+ }
+ }
goto failed;
}
if (cold)
page = list_entry(list->prev, struct page, lru);
else
page = list_entry(list->next, struct page, lru);
list_del(&page->lru);
pcp->count--;
==
Will work enough as a fallback path which allows to allocate a memory from CMA area
if there aren't enough free pages. (and makes FALLBACK type as)
fallbacks[MIGRATE_CMA] = {?????},
for no fallbacks.

Hmm, I'm not sure why you dont' have any change in __free_one_page() which overwrite
pageblock type. Is MIGRATE_CMA range is aligned to MAX_ORDER ? If so, please mention
about it in patch description or comment because of the patch order.
