Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] mm: Introduce Hinted pages

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...ux.intel.com>

In order to pave the way for free page hinting in virtualized environments
we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those
pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds
the concept of a Hinted Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the
Offline page type used in conjunction with the Buddy page type.

It adds a set of pointers we shall call "boundary" which represents the
upper boundary between the unhinted and hinted pages. The general idea is
that in order for a page to cross from one side of the boundary to the
other it will need to go through the hinting process. Ultimately a
free_list has been fully processed when the boundary has been moved from
the tail all they way up to occupying the first entry in the list.

Doing this we should be able to make certain that we keep the hinted
pages as one contiguous block in each free list. This will allow us to
efficiently manipulate the free lists whenever we need to go in and start
sending hints to the hypervisor that there are new pages that have been
freed and are no longer in use.

An added advantage to this approach is that we should be reducing the
overall memory footprint of the guest as it will be more likely to recycle
warm pages versus trying to allocate the hinted pages that were likely
evicted from the guest memory.

Since we will only be hinting one zone at a time we keep the boundary
limited to being defined for just the zone we are currently placing hinted
pages into. Doing this we can keep the number of additional pointers needed
quite small. To flag that the boundaries are in place we use a single bit
in the zone to indicate that hinting and the boundaries are active.

The determination of when to start hinting is based on the tracking of the
number of free pages in a given area versus the number of hinted pages in
that area. We keep track of the number of hinted pages per free_area in a
separate zone specific area. We do this to avoid modifying the free_area
structure as this can lead to false sharing for the highest order with the
zone lock which leads to a noticeable performance degradation.
