Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 19/27] mm/compaction: NP_OPS_COMPACTION - private node compaction support
Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 03:48:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260222084842.1824063-20-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260222084842.1824063-1-gourry@gourry.net>
Private node zones should not be compacted unless the service explicitly
opts in - as compaction requires migration and services may have
PFN-based metadata that needs updating.
Add a folio_migrate callback which fires from migrate_folio_move() for
each relocated folio before faults are unblocked.
Add zone_supports_compaction() which returns true for normal zones and
checks NP_OPS_COMPACTION for N_MEMORY_PRIVATE zones.
Filter three direct compaction zone loops:
- compaction_zonelist_suitable() (reclaimer eligibility)
- try_to_compact_pages() (direct compaction)
- compact_node() (proactive/manual compaction)
kcompactd paths are intentionally unfiltered -- the service is
responsible for starting kcompactd on its node.
NP_OPS_COMPACTION requires NP_OPS_MIGRATION.
