Subject: [PATCH 22/34] mm: compaction: Introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction
commit a6bc32b899223a877f595ef9ddc1e89ead5072b8 upstream.
Stable note: Not tracked in Buzilla. This was part of a series that
reduced interactivity stalls experienced when THP was enabled.
These stalls were particularly noticable when copying data
to a USB stick but the experiences for users varied a lot.
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async
compaction maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to
MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. For other migrate_pages users such as memory
hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is used.
This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be
a large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not
support ->writepages.
[aarcange@...hat.com: This patch is heavily based on Andrea's work]
