Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] Enable >0 order folio memory compaction
From: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>
Hi all,
This patchset enables >0 order folio memory compaction, which is one of
the prerequisitions for large folio support[1]. It is on top of
mm-everything-2024-02-14-21-42.
I am aware of that split free pages is necessary for folio
migration in compaction, since if >0 order free pages are never split
and no order-0 free page is scanned, compaction will end prematurely due
to migration returns -ENOMEM. Free page split becomes a must instead of
an optimization.
lkp ncompare results (on a 8-CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @2.20GHz) 16G VM)
for default LRU (-no-mglru) and CONFIG_LRU_GEN are shown at the bottom,
copied from V3[4].
In sum, most of vm-scalability applications do not see performance
change, and the others see ~4% to ~26% performance boost under default LRU
and ~2% to ~6% performance boost under CONFIG_LRU_GEN.
Changelog
===
>From V4 [5]:
1. Refactored code in compaction_alloc() in Patch 3 (per Yu Zhao).
>From V3 [4]:
1. Restructured isolate_migratepages_block() to minimize PageHuge() use
in Patch 1 (per Vlastimil Babka).
2. Used folio_put_testzero() instead of folio_set_count() to properly
handle free pages in compaction_free() (per Vlastimil Babka).
3. Simplified code to use struct list_head instead of a new struct page_list
(per Vlastimil Babka).
4. Restructured compaction_alloc() code to reduce indentation and
increase readability (per Vlastimil Babka).
>From V2 [3]:
1. Added missing free page count in fast isolation path. This fixed the
weird performance outcome.
>From V1 [2]:
1. Used folio_test_large() instead of folio_order() > 0. (per Matthew
Wilcox)
2. Fixed code rebase error. (per Baolin Wang)
3. Used list_split_init() instead of list_split(). (per Ryan Boberts)
4. Added free_pages_prepare_fpi_none() to avoid duplicate free page code
in compaction_free().
5. Dropped source page order sorting patch.
>From RFC [1]:
1. Enabled >0 order folio compaction in the first patch by splitting all
to-be-migrated folios. (per Huang, Ying)
2. Stopped isolating compound pages with order greater than cc->order
to avoid wasting effort, since cc->order gives a hint that no free pages
with order greater than it exist, thus migrating the compound pages will fail.
(per Baolin Wang)
3. Retained the folio check within lru lock. (per Baolin Wang)
4. Made isolate_freepages_block() generate order-sorted multi lists.
(per Johannes Weiner)
Overview
===
To support >0 order folio compaction, the patchset changes how free pages used
for migration are kept during compaction. Free pages used to be split into
order-0 pages that are post allocation processed (i.e., PageBuddy flag cleared,
page order stored in page->private is zeroed, and page reference is set to 1).
Now all free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDER array of page lists based
on their order without post allocation process. When migrate_pages() asks for
a new page, one of the free pages, based on the requested page order, is
then processed and given out. And THP <2MB would need this feature.
Feel free to give comments and ask questions.
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
Baolin's patch on nr_migratepages was based on this one, a better fixup
for it might be below. Since before my patchset, compaction only deals with
order-0 pages.
