Subject: [PATCH 2/3] CMA: Fix the issue that nr_try_movable just count MIGRATE_MOVABLE memory
Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2014 17:43:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419500608-11656-3-git-send-email-zhuhui@xiaomi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1419500608-11656-1-git-send-email-zhuhui@xiaomi.com>
One of my plotform that use Joonsoo's CMA patch [1] has a device that
will alloc a lot of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE memory when it works in a zone.
When this device works, the memory status of this zone is not OK. Most of
CMA is not allocated but most normal memory is allocated.
This issue is because in __rmqueue:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CMA) &&
migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE && zone->managed_cma_pages)
page = __rmqueue_cma(zone, order);
Just allocated MIGRATE_MOVABLE will be record in nr_try_movable in function
__rmqueue_cma but not the others. This device allocated a lot of
MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE memory affect the behavior of this zone memory allocation.
This patch change __rmqueue to let nr_try_movable record all the memory
allocation of normal memory.
