mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepage
Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they
should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them
from unmovable/reclaimable allocation. Implementing these requirements in
__rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage
has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken
continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage. Reason is
that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next
__rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of
freepage and break it again. So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled
separately. This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just
wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if
migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is
always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's
fallback. But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only
for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as
much as possible. Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages
with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.
