Subject: [PATCH v14 08/10] mm/demotion: Demote pages according to allocation fallback order
From: Jagdish Gediya <jvgediya.oss@...il.com>
Currently, a higher tier node can only be demoted to selected nodes on the next
lower tier as defined by the demotion path. This strict demotion order does not
work in all use cases (e.g. some use cases may want to allow cross-socket
demotion to another node in the same demotion tier as a fallback when the
preferred demotion node is out of space). This demotion order is also
inconsistent with the page allocation fallback order when all the nodes in a
higher tier are out of space: The page allocation can fall back to any node from
any lower tier, whereas the demotion order doesn't allow that currently.
This patch adds support to get all the allowed demotion targets for a memory
tier. demote_page_list() function is now modified to utilize this allowed node
mask as the fallback allocation mask.
