But when I use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ZSMALLOC), page_movable_ops() cannot access zsmalloc_mops because zsmalloc_mops is in a module. To solve this problem, we define a set_movable_ops() interface to register and unregister offline_movable_ops / zsmalloc_movable_ops in mm/migrate.c, and call them at mm/balloon_compaction.c & mm/zsmalloc.c. Since offline_movable_ops / zsmalloc_movable_ops are always accessible, all #ifdef / #endif are removed in page_movable_ops().

mm: stop storing migration_ops in page->mapping

2025-07-13T23:38:29+00:00

... instead, look them up statically based on the page type. Maybe in the future we want a registration interface? At least for now, it can be easily handled using the two page types that actually support page migration. The remaining usage of page->mapping is to flag such pages as actually being movable (having movable_ops), which we will change next.

mm/balloon_compaction: stop using __ClearPageMovable()

2025-07-13T23:38:28+00:00

We can just look at the balloon device (stored in page->private), to see if the page is still part of the balloon. As isolated balloon pages cannot get released (they are taken off the balloon list while isolated), we don't have to worry about this case in the putback and migration callback. Add a WARN_ON_ONCE for now.

mm/balloon_compaction: convert balloon_page_delete() to balloon_page_finalize()

2025-07-13T23:38:25+00:00

Let's move the removal of the page from the balloon list into the single caller, to remove the dependency on the PG_isolated flag and clarify locking requirements. Note that for now, balloon_page_delete() was used on two paths: (1) Removing a page from the balloon for deflation through balloon_page_list_dequeue() (2) Removing an isolated page from the balloon for migration in the per-driver migration handlers. Isolated pages were already removed from the balloon list during isolation. So instead of relying on the flag, we can just distinguish both cases directly and handle it accordingly in the caller. We'll shuffle the operations a bit such that they logically make more sense (e.g., remove from the list before clearing flags). In balloon migration functions we can now move the balloon_page_finalize() out of the balloon lock and perform the finalization just before dropping the balloon reference. Document that the page lock is currently required when modifying the movability aspects of a page; hopefully we can soon decouple this from the page lock.

mm/balloon_compaction: we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon list

2025-07-13T23:38:25+00:00

Patch series "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)", v2. In the future, as we decouple "struct page" from "struct folio", pages that support "non-lru page migration" -- movable_ops page migration such as memory balloons and zsmalloc -- will no longer be folios. They will not have ->mapping, ->lru, and likely no refcount and no page lock. But they will have a type and flags 🙂 This is the first part (other parts not written yet) of decoupling movable_ops page migration from folio migration. In this series, we get rid of the ->mapping usage, and start cleaning up the code + separating it from folio migration. Migration core will have to be further reworked to not treat movable_ops pages like folios. This is the first step into that direction. This patch (of 29): The core will set PG_isolated only after mops->isolate_page() was called. In case of the balloon, that is where we will remove it from the balloon list. So we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon list. Let's drop this unnecessary check.
