From 51bb1a4093cc68bc16b282548d9cee6104be0ef1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:19:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: add freepage on isolate pageblock to correct buddy list In free_pcppages_bulk(), we use cached migratetype of freepage to determine type of buddy list where freepage will be added. This information is stored when freepage is added to pcp list, so if isolation of pageblock of this freepage begins after storing, this cached information could be stale. In other words, it has original migratetype rather than MIGRATE_ISOLATE. There are two problems caused by this stale information. One is that we can't keep these freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated, freepage will be added to normal buddy list so that it could be allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is incorrect freepage accounting. Freepages on isolate pageblock should not be counted for number of freepage. Following is the code snippet in free_pcppages_bulk(). /* MIGRATE_MOVABLE list may include MIGRATE_RESERVEs */ __free_one_page(page, page_to_pfn(page), zone, 0, mt); trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain(page, 0, mt); if (likely(!is_migrate_isolate_page(page))) { __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, 1); if (is_migrate_cma(mt)) __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES, 1); } As you can see above snippet, current code already handle second problem, incorrect freepage accounting, by re-fetching pageblock migratetype through is_migrate_isolate_page(page). But, because this re-fetched information isn't used for __free_one_page(), first problem would not be solved. This patch try to solve this situation to re-fetch pageblock migratetype before __free_one_page() and to use it for __free_one_page(). In addition to move up position of this re-fetch, this patch use optimization technique, re-fetching migratetype only if there is isolate pageblock. Pageblock isolation is rare event, so we can avoid re-fetching in common case with this optimization. This patch also correct migratetype of the tracepoint output.
