Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm: Target compaction on pageblocks that were recently fragmented
Despite the earlier patches, external fragmentation events are still
inevitable as not all callers can stall or are appropriate to stall. In the
event the result is a mixed pageblock, it is desirable to move all movable
pages from that block so that unmovable/unreclaimable allocations do not
further pollute the address space. This patch queues such pageblocks for
early compaction and relies on kswapd to wake kcompactd when some pages
are reclaimed. Waking kcompactd after kswapd makes progress is so that
the compaction is more likely to have a suitable migration destination.
This patch may be controversial as there are multiple other design
decisions that can be made. We could refuse to change pageblock ownership
in some cases but great care would need to be taken to avoid premature
OOMs or a livelock. Similarly, we could tag pageblocks as mixed and
search for them but that would increase scanning costs. Finally, there
is a corner case that a mixed pageblock that is after the point where a
free scanner can operate may fail to clean the pageblock but addressing
that would require a fundamental alteration to how compaction works.
Unlike the previous patches, the benefit here is harder to quantify as
any work that is queued may or may not help an allocation request in the
future. The timing of the allocation stream is critical and detecting
differences in latency may be within the noise. Hence, the potential
benefit of this patch is more conceptual than quantitive even though
there are some positive results.

The performance is similar but not necessarily indicative that the patch
had any effect. There was no reported compaction activity so essentially
the patch was a no-op.

Fragmentation-causing events are slightly reduced and there is a slight
improvement in THP allocation latencies and success rates. Remember that
no special effort is being made to allocate THP in this workload.

There is a small decrease in fragmentation events but the most notable
part is the decrease in latency with a similarly high THP allocation
success rate.
It is less obvious whether this is a universal win as fragmentation-causing
events were already low and in the case of MADV_HUGEPAGE, the allocation
success rates were already high. However, it's encouraging that the THP
allocation latencies were improved.
