Subject: [PATCH RFC 14/19] mm/page_alloc: separate pcplists by freetype flags
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:34:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-page_alloc-unmapped-v1-14-e8808a03cd66@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225-page_alloc-unmapped-v1-0-e8808a03cd66@google.com>
The normal freelists are already separated by this flag, so now update
the pcplists accordingly. This follows the most "obvious" design where
__GFP_UNMAPPED is supported at arbitrary orders.
If necessary, it would be possible to avoid the proliferation of
pcplists by restricting orders that can be allocated from them with this
FREETYPE_UNMAPPED.
On the other hand, there's currently no usecase for movable/reclaimable
unmapped memory, and constraining the migratetype doesn't have any
tricky plumbing implications. So, take advantage of that and assume that
FREETYPE_UNMAPPED implies MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE.
Overall, this just takes the existing space of pindices and tacks
another bank on the end. For !THP this is just 4 more lists, with THP
there is a single additional list for hugepages.
