If you are interested in order-3 or order-4 fragmentation, for whatever reason, you could periodically check /proc/buddyinfo and manually invoke compaction on the system. In other words, why does this need to live in the kernel? > Signed-off-by: chukaiping > Reported-by: kernel test robot > --- > > Changes in v3: > - change the min value of compaction_order to 1 because the fragmentation > index of order 0 is always 0 > - move the definition of max_buddy_zone into #ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION > > Changes in v2: > - fix the compile error in ia64 and powerpc, move the initialization > of sysctl_compaction_order to kcompactd_init because > COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER is a variable in these architectures > - change the hard coded max order number from 10 to MAX_ORDER - 1 > > include/linux/compaction.h | 1 + > kernel/sysctl.c | 10 ++++++++++ > mm/compaction.c | 9 ++++++--- > 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/include/linux/compaction.h b/include/linux/compaction.h > index ed4070e..151ccd1 100644 > --- a/include/linux/compaction.h > +++ b/include/linux/compaction.h > @@ -83,6 +83,7 @@ static inline unsigned long compact_gap(unsigned int order) > #ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION > extern int sysctl_compact_memory; > extern unsigned int sysctl_compaction_proactiveness; > +extern unsigned int sysctl_compaction_order; > extern int sysctl_compaction_handler(struct ctl_table *table, int write, > void *buffer, size_t *length, loff_t *ppos); > extern int sysctl_extfrag_threshold; > diff --git a/kernel/sysctl.c b/kernel/sysctl.c > index 62fbd09..e50f7d2 100644 > --- a/kernel/sysctl.c > +++ b/kernel/sysctl.c > @@ -196,6 +196,7 @@ enum sysctl_writes_mode { > #endif /* CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG */ > > #ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION > +static int max_buddy_zone = MAX_ORDER - 1; > static int min_extfrag_threshold; > static int max_extfrag_threshold = 1000; > #endif > @@ -2871,6 +2872,15 @@ int proc_do_static_key(struct ctl_table *table, int write, > .extra2 = &one_hundred, > }, > { > + .procname = "compaction_order", > + .data = &sysctl_compaction_order, > + .maxlen = sizeof(sysctl_compaction_order), > + .mode = 0644, > + .proc_handler = proc_dointvec_minmax, > + .extra1 = SYSCTL_ONE, > + .extra2 = &max_buddy_zone, > + }, > + { > .procname = "extfrag_threshold", > .data = &sysctl_extfrag_threshold, > .maxlen = sizeof(int), > diff --git a/mm/compaction.c b/mm/compaction.c > index e04f447..70c0acd 100644 > --- a/mm/compaction.c > +++ b/mm/compaction.c > @@ -1925,16 +1925,16 @@ static bool kswapd_is_running(pg_data_t *pgdat) > > /* > * A zone's fragmentation score is the external fragmentation wrt to the > - * COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER.
