Subject: autonuma: fix watermark checking in migrate_balanced_pgdat()
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
Git-commit: bfe9d006c971a5daefe7a8b27819ccd497090fd8
References: bnc#1155756
When zone_watermark_ok() is called in migrate_balanced_pgdat() to check
migration target node, the parameter classzone_idx (for requested zone)
is specified as 0 (ZONE_DMA). But when allocating memory for autonuma
in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), the requested zone from GFP flags is
ZONE_MOVABLE. That is, the requested zone is different. The size of
lowmem_reserve for the different requested zone is different. And this
may cause some issues.
For example, in the zoneinfo of a test machine as below,
Node 0, zone DMA32
pages free 61592
min 29
low 454
high 879
spanned 1044480
present 442306
managed 425921
protection: (0, 0, 62457, 62457, 62457)
The free page number of ZONE_DMA32 is greater than "high watermark +
lowmem_reserve[ZONE_DMA]", but less than "high watermark +
lowmem_reserve[ZONE_MOVABLE]". And because __alloc_pages_node() in
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() requests ZONE_MOVABLE, the
zone_watermark_ok() on ZONE_DMA32 in migrate_balanced_pgdat() may always
return true. So, autonuma may not stop even when memory pressure in
node 0 is heavy.
To fix the issue, ZONE_MOVABLE is used as parameter to call
zone_watermark_ok() in migrate_balanced_pgdat(). This makes it same as
requested zone in alloc_misplaced_dst_page(). So that
migrate_balanced_pgdat() returns false when memory pressure is heavy.
