[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: dma-buf: system_heap: avoid reclaim for order 4
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dma-buf-system_heap-avoid-reclaim-for-order-4.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: dma-buf: system_heap: avoid reclaim for order 4
Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2023 14:03:32 +0900

Using order 4 pages would be helpful for IOMMUs mapping, but trying to get
order 4 pages could spend quite much time in the page allocation.  From
the perspective of responsiveness, the deterministic memory allocation
speed, I think, is quite important.

The order 4 allocation with __GFP_RECLAIM may spend much time in reclaim
and compation logic.  __GFP_NORETRY also may affect.  These cause
unpredictable delay.

To get reasonable allocation speed from dma-buf system heap, use
HIGH_ORDER_GFP for order 4 to avoid reclaim.  And let me remove
meaningless __GFP_COMP for order 0.

According to my tests, order 4 with MID_ORDER_GFP could get more number
of order 4 pages but the elapsed times could be very slow.

         time	order 8	order 4	order 0
     584 usec	0	160	0
  28,428 usec	0	160	0
 100,701 usec	0	160	0
  76,645 usec	0	160	0
  25,522 usec	0	160	0
  38,798 usec	0	160	0
  89,012 usec	0	160	0
  23,015 usec	0	160	0
  73,360 usec	0	160	0
  76,953 usec	0	160	0
  31,492 usec	0	160	0
  75,889 usec	0	160	0
  84,551 usec	0	160	0
  84,352 usec	0	160	0
  57,103 usec	0	160	0
  93,452 usec	0	160	0

If HIGH_ORDER_GFP is used for order 4, the number of order 4 could be
decreased but the elapsed time results were quite stable and fast enough.

         time	order 8	order 4	order 0
   1,356 usec	0	155	80
   1,901 usec	0	11	2384
