[PATCH] kswapd: no need reclaim cma pages triggered by unmovable allocation

zhou
2021-02-09T08:58:08Z

From: zhou xianrong <xianrong.zhou@transsion.com>

For purpose of better migration cma pages are allocated after
failure movalbe allocations and are used normally for file pages
or anonymous pages.

In reclaim path so many cma pages if configurated are reclaimed
from lru lists in kswapd mainly or direct reclaim triggered by
unmovable or reclaimable allocations. But these cma pages can not
be used by original unmovable or reclaimable allocations. So the
reclaim are unnecessary.

In a same system if the cma pages were configurated to large then
more failture unmovable (vmalloc etc.) or reclaimable (slab etc.)
allocations are arised and then more kswapd rounds are triggered
and then more cma pages are reclaimed.

So this maybe cause vicious cycle. It causes that when we are under
low memory and still there are many cma pages that can not be
allocated due to unnecessary cma reclaim and cma fallback allocations
. So cma pages are not used sufficiently.

The modification is straightforward that skips reclaiming cma pages
in reclaim procedure which is triggered only by unmovable or
reclaimable allocations. This optimization can avoid ~3% unnecessary
cma isolations (cma isolated / total isolated).
