mm/page_alloc: Separate THP PCP into movable and non-movable categories
Since commit 5d0a661d808f ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for
THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of
pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation
requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not
acceptable.
If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the
CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual
machine with device passthrough will get stuck. During starting the
virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM,
...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area,
pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA
area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation
requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will
migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check
in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless.
Call trace:
pin_user_pages_remote
--__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function
----_get_user_pages_locked
----check_and_migrate_movable_pages
------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages
--------alloc_migration_target
This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself. For example,
when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc()
or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's
users can retrieve that contigous memory. Currently, CMA's memory is
occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them. As a
result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail.
To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not
introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages. THP will have 2 PCP
lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list
is used by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE,
and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.
