mm/page_isolation: remove migratetype parameter from more functions

2025-07-13T23:38:18+00:00

migratetype is no longer overwritten during pageblock isolation, start_isolate_page_range(), has_unmovable_pages(), and set_migratetype_isolate() no longer need which migratetype to restore during isolation failure. For has_unmoable_pages(), it needs to know if the isolation is for CMA allocation, so adding PB_ISOLATE_MODE_CMA_ALLOC provide the information. At the same time change isolation flags to enum pb_isolate_mode (PB_ISOLATE_MODE_MEM_OFFLINE, PB_ISOLATE_MODE_CMA_ALLOC, PB_ISOLATE_MODE_OTHER). Remove REPORT_FAILURE and check PB_ISOLATE_MODE_MEM_OFFLINE, since only PB_ISOLATE_MODE_MEM_OFFLINE reports isolation failures. alloc_contig_range() no longer needs migratetype. Replace it with a newly defined acr_flags_t to tell if an allocation is for CMA. So does __alloc_contig_migrate_range(). Add ACR_FLAGS_NONE (set to 0) to indicate ordinary allocations.

mm/page_isolation: remove migratetype from move_freepages_block_isolate()

2025-07-13T23:38:18+00:00

Since migratetype is no longer overwritten during pageblock isolation, moving a pageblock out of MIGRATE_ISOLATE no longer needs a new migratetype. Add pageblock_isolate_and_move_free_pages() and pageblock_unisolate_and_move_free_pages() to be explicit about the page isolation operations. Both share the common code in __move_freepages_block_isolate(), which is renamed from move_freepages_block_isolate(). Add toggle_pageblock_isolate() to flip pageblock isolation bit in __move_freepages_block_isolate(). Make set_pageblock_migratetype() only accept non MIGRATE_ISOLATE types, so that one should use set_pageblock_isolate() to isolate pageblocks. As a result, move pageblock migratetype code out of __move_freepages_block().

mm/page_isolation: make page isolation a standalone bit

2025-07-13T23:38:17+00:00

During page isolation, the original migratetype is overwritten, since MIGRATE_* are enums and stored in pageblock bitmaps. Change MIGRATE_ISOLATE to be stored a standalone bit, PB_migrate_isolate, like PB_compact_skip, so that migratetype is not lost during pageblock isolation.

mm/page_alloc: pageblock flags functions clean up

2025-07-13T23:38:17+00:00

Patch series "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit", v10. This patchset moves MIGRATE_ISOLATE to a standalone bit to avoid being overwritten during pageblock isolation process. Currently, MIGRATE_ISOLATE is part of enum migratetype (in include/linux/mmzone.h), thus, setting a pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE overwrites its original migratetype. This causes pageblock migratetype loss during alloc_contig_range() and memory offline, especially when the process fails due to a failed pageblock isolation and the code tries to undo the finished pageblock isolations. In terms of performance for changing pageblock types, no performance change is observed: 1. I used perf to collect stats of offlining and onlining all memory of a 40GB VM 10 times and see that get_pfnblock_flags_mask() and set_pfnblock_flags_mask() take about 0.12% and 0.02% of the whole process respectively with and without this patchset across 3 runs. 2. I used perf to collect stats of dd from /dev/random to a 40GB tmpfs file and find get_pfnblock_flags_mask() takes about 0.05% of the process with and without this patchset across 3 runs. This patch (of 6): No functional change is intended. 1. Add __NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS for the number of pageblock flag bits and use roundup_pow_of_two(__NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS) as NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS to take right amount of bits for pageblock flags. 2. Rename PB_migrate_skip to PB_compact_skip. 3. Add {get,set,clear}_pfnblock_bit() to operate one a standalone bit, like PB_compact_skip. 3. Make {get,set}_pfnblock_flags_mask() internal functions and use {get,set}_pfnblock_migratetype() for pageblock migratetype operations. 4. Move pageblock flags common code to get_pfnblock_bitmap_bitidx(). 3. Use MIGRATETYPE_MASK to get the migratetype of a pageblock from its flags. 4. Use PB_migrate_end in the definition of MIGRATETYPE_MASK instead of PB_migrate_bits. 5. Add a comment on is_migrate_cma_folio() to prevent one from changing it to use get_pageblock_migratetype() and causing issues.

mm: page_isolation: prepare for hygienic freelists

2024-04-26T03:56:04+00:00

Page isolation currently sets MIGRATE_ISOLATE on a block, then drops zone->lock and scans the block for straddling buddies to split up. Because this happens non-atomically wrt the page allocator, it's possible for allocations to get a buddy whose first block is a regular pcp migratetype but whose tail is isolated. This means that in certain cases memory can still be allocated after isolation. It will also trigger the freelist type hygiene warnings in subsequent patches. start_isolate_page_range() isolate_single_pageblock() set_migratetype_isolate(tail) lock zone->lock move_freepages_block(tail) // nop set_pageblock_migratetype(tail) unlock zone->lock __rmqueue_smallest() del_page_from_freelist(head) expand(head, head_mt) WARN(head_mt != tail_mt) start_pfn = ALIGN_DOWN(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES) for (pfn = start_pfn, pfn < end_pfn) if (PageBuddy()) split_free_page(head) Introduce a variant of move_freepages_block() provided by the allocator specifically for page isolation; it moves free pages, converts the block, and handles the splitting of straddling buddies while holding zone->lock. The allocator knows that pageblocks and buddies are always naturally aligned, which means that buddies can only straddle blocks if they're actually >pageblock_order. This means the search-and-split part can be simplified compared to what page isolation used to do. Also tighten up the page isolation code around the expectations of which pages can be large, and how they are freed. Based on extensive discussions with and invaluable input from Zi Yan.

mm: page_alloc: fix freelist movement during block conversion

2024-04-26T03:56:03+00:00

Currently, page block type conversion during fallbacks, atomic reservations and isolation can strand various amounts of free pages on incorrect freelists. For example, fallback stealing moves free pages in the block to the new type's freelists, but then may not actually claim the block for that type if there aren't enough compatible pages already allocated. In all cases, free page moving might fail if the block straddles more than one zone, in which case no free pages are moved at all, but the block type is changed anyway. This is detrimental to type hygiene on the freelists. It encourages incompatible page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another) and thus contributes to long-term fragmentation. Split the process into a proper transaction: check first if conversion will happen, then try to move the free pages, and only if that was successful convert the block to the new type.
