Subject: [PATCH v3 04/13] mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()
isolate_migratepages_range() is the main function of the compaction scanner,
called either on a single pageblock by isolate_migratepages() during regular
compaction, or on an arbitrary range by CMA's __alloc_contig_migrate_range().
It currently perfoms two pageblock-wide compaction suitability checks, and
because of the CMA callpath, it tracks if it crossed a pageblock boundary in
order to repeat those checks.
However, closer inspection shows that those checks are always true for CMA:
- isolation_suitable() is true because CMA sets cc->ignore_skip_hint to true
- migrate_async_suitable() check is skipped because CMA uses sync compaction
We can therefore move the checks to isolate_migratepages(), reducing variables
and simplifying isolate_migratepages_range(). The update_pageblock_skip()
function also no longer needs set_unsuitable parameter.
Furthermore, going back to compact_zone() and compact_finished() when pageblock
is unsuitable is wasteful - the checks are meant to skip pageblocks quickly.
The patch therefore also introduces a simple loop into isolate_migratepages()
so that it does not return immediately on pageblock checks, but keeps going
until isolate_migratepages_range() gets called once. Similarily to
isolate_freepages(), the function periodically checks if it needs to reschedule
or abort async compaction.
