With a threshold of 100000, it is still possible that the zone lock
will be held for a very long time in the worst case scenario where all
the counts are just below the threshold. With up to 6 migration types
and 11 orders, it means up to 6.6 millions.
Track the total number of list iterations done since the acquisition
of the zone lock and release it whenever 100000 iterations or more have
been completed. This will cap the lock hold time to no more than 200,000
list iterations.

Aren't you overengineering this a bit? If you are still worried then we
can simply cond_resched for each order

I do not have a strong opinion here but I can fold this into my patch 2.

If the free list is empty or is very short, there is probably no need to
release and reacquire the lock. How about adding a check for a lower
bound like:
if (freecount > 1000) {
spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lock);
cond_resched();
spin_lock_irq(&zone->lock);
}
Cheers,

Again, does it really make any sense to micro optimize something like
this. It is a debugging tool. I would rather go simple.

Now that the free block count for each migration types in
/proc/pagetypeinfo may not show the exact count if it excceeds
100,000. Users may not know how much more the counts will be. As the
free_area structure has already tracked the total free block count in
nr_free, we may as well print it out with no additional cost. That will
give users a rough idea of where the upper bounds will be.
If there is no overflow, the presence of the total counts will also
enable us to check if the nr_free counts match the total number of
entries in the free lists.
