ab130f9108 mm: rename page_order() to buddy_order()
The current page_order() can only be called on pages in the buddy
allocator.  For compound pages, you have to use compound_order().  This is
confusing and led to a bug, so rename page_order() to buddy_order().

62b35fe0eb mm/compaction.c: micro-optimization remove unnecessary branch
The same code can work both for 'zone->compact_considered > defer_limit'
and 'zone->compact_considered >= defer_limit'.  In the latter there is one
branch less which is more effective considering performance.

facdaa917c mm: proactive compaction
For some applications, we need to allocate almost all memory as hugepages.
However, on a running system, higher-order allocations can fail if the
memory is fragmented.  Linux kernel currently does on-demand compaction as
we request more hugepages, but this style of compaction incurs very high
latency.  Experiments with one-time full memory compaction (followed by
hugepage allocations) show that kernel is able to restore a highly
fragmented memory state to a fairly compacted memory state within <1 sec
for a 32G system.  Such data suggests that a more proactive compaction can
help us allocate a large fraction of memory as hugepages keeping
allocation latencies low.

For a more proactive compaction, the approach taken here is to define a
new sysctl called 'vm.compaction_proactiveness' which dictates bounds for
external fragmentation which kcompactd tries to maintain.

The tunable takes a value in range [0, 100], with a default of 20.

Note that a previous version of this patch [1] was found to introduce too
many tunables (per-order extfrag{low, high}), but this one reduces them to
just one sysctl.  Also, the new tunable is an opaque value instead of
asking for specific bounds of "external fragmentation", which would have
been difficult to estimate.  The internal interpretation of this opaque
value allows for future fine-tuning.

Currently, we use a simple translation from this tunable to [low, high]
"fragmentation score" thresholds (low=100-proactiveness, high=low+10%).
The score for a node is defined as weighted mean of per-zone external
fragmentation.  A zone's present_pages determines its weight.

To periodically check per-node score, we reuse per-node kcompactd threads,
which are woken up every 500 milliseconds to check the same.  If a node's
score exceeds its high threshold (as derived from user-provided
proactiveness value), proactive compaction is started until its score
reaches its low threshold value.  By default, proactiveness is set to 20,
which implies threshold values of low=80 and high=90.

This patch is largely based on ideas from Michal Hocko [2].  See also the
LWN article [3].

Performance data
================

System: x64_64, 1T RAM, 80 CPU threads.
Kernel: 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch

echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

Before starting the driver, the system was fragmented from a userspace
program that allocates all memory and then for each 2M aligned section,
frees 3/4 of base pages using munmap.  The workload is mainly anonymous
userspace pages, which are easy to move around.  I intentionally avoided
unmovable pages in this test to see how much latency we incur when
hugepage allocations hit direct compaction.

1. Kernel hugepage allocation latencies

With the system in such a fragmented state, a kernel driver then allocates
as many hugepages as possible and measures allocation latency:

(all latency values are in microseconds)

- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3

  percentile latency
  –––––––––– –––––––
	   5    7894
	  10    9496
	  25   12561
	  30   15295
	  40   18244
	  50   21229
	  60   27556
	  75   30147
	  80   31047
	  90   32859
	  95   33799

Total 2M hugepages allocated = 383859 (749G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)

- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20

sysctl -w vm.compaction_proactiveness=20

  percentile latency
  –––––––––– –––––––
	   5       2
	  10       2
	  25       3
	  30       3
	  40       3
	  50       4
	  60       4
	  75       4
	  80       4
	  90       5
	  95     429

Total 2M hugepages allocated = 384105 (750G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)

2. JAVA heap allocation

In this test, we first fragment memory using the same method as for (1).

Then, we start a Java process with a heap size set to 700G and request the
heap to be allocated with THP hugepages.  We also set THP to madvise to
allow hugepage backing of this heap.

/usr/bin/time
 java -Xms700G -Xmx700G -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch

The above command allocates 700G of Java heap using hugepages.

- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3

17.39user 1666.48system 27:37.89elapsed

- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20

8.35user 194.58system 3:19.62elapsed

Elapsed time remains around 3:15, as proactiveness is further increased.

Note that proactive compaction happens throughout the runtime of these
workloads.  The situation of one-time compaction, sufficient to supply
hugepages for following allocation stream, can probably happen for more
extreme proactiveness values, like 80 or 90.

In the above Java workload, proactiveness is set to 20.  The test starts
with a node's score of 80 or higher, depending on the delay between the
fragmentation step and starting the benchmark, which gives more-or-less
time for the initial round of compaction.  As t he benchmark consumes
hugepages, node's score quickly rises above the high threshold (90) and
proactive compaction starts again, which brings down the score to the low
threshold level (80).  Repeat.

bpftrace also confirms proactive compaction running 20+ times during the
runtime of this Java benchmark.  kcompactd threads consume 100% of one of
the CPUs while it tries to bring a node's score within thresholds.

Backoff behavior
================

Above workloads produce a memory state which is easy to compact.  However,
if memory is filled with unmovable pages, proactive compaction should
essentially back off.  To test this aspect:

- Created a kernel driver that allocates almost all memory as hugepages
  followed by freeing first 3/4 of each hugepage.
- Set proactiveness=40
- Note that proactive_compact_node() is deferred maximum number of times
  with HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC of wait between each check
  (=> ~30 seconds between retries).

b9e20f0da1 mm, compaction: make capture control handling safe wrt interrupts
Hugh reports:

 "While stressing compaction, one run oopsed on NULL capc->cc in
  __free_one_page()'s task_capc(zone): compact_zone_order() had been
  interrupted, and a page was being freed in the return from interrupt.

  Though you would not expect it from the source, both gccs I was using
  (4.8.1 and 7.5.0) had chosen to compile compact_zone_order() with the
  ".cc = &cc" implemented by mov %rbx,-0xb0(%rbp) immediately before
  callq compact_zone - long after the "current->capture_control =
  &capc". An interrupt in between those finds capc->cc NULL (zeroed by
  an earlier rep stos).

  This could presumably be fixed by a barrier() before setting
  current->capture_control in compact_zone_order(); but would also need
  more care on return from compact_zone(), in order not to risk leaking
  a page captured by interrupt just before capture_control is reset.

  Maybe that is the preferable fix, but I felt safer for task_capc() to
  exclude the rather surprising possibility of capture at interrupt
  time"

I have checked that gcc10 also behaves the same.

The advantage of fix in compact_zone_order() is that we don't add
another test in the page freeing hot path, and that it might prevent
future problems if we stop exposing pointers to uninitialized structures
in current task.

So this patch implements the suggestion for compact_zone_order() with
barrier() (and WRITE_ONCE() to prevent store tearing) for setting
current->capture_control, and prevents page leaking with
WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE in the proper order.

73a6e474cb mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN
When called during boot the memmap_init_zone() function checks if each PFN
is valid and actually belongs to the node being initialized using
early_pfn_valid() and early_pfn_in_nid().

Each such check may cost up to O(log(n)) where n is the number of memory
banks, so for large amount of memory overall time spent in early_pfn*()
becomes substantial.

Since the information is anyway present in memblock, we can iterate over
memblock memory regions in memmap_init() and only call memmap_init_zone()
for PFN ranges that are know to be valid and in the appropriate node.

b01b214199 mm/swap: Use local_lock for protection
The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling
either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside
these sections spinlocks have to be acquired.

These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to
"sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping
locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections.

local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt
disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps
to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable().

Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock.
Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock.
Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid
exporting the pvec structure.

Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using
preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() /
local_irq_save().

There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated
binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels.

When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These
allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a
preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning
while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain
preempt_disable() based protection.

local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for
the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless.

Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real
locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully
preemptible kernel.

[ bigeasy: Adopted to use local_lock ]

32927393dc sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

Since commit 5bbe3547aa ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages and compact them by default.  On
-RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few 100us
to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.

Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and issue a warning on RT if
it is changed.

6467552ca6 mm, compaction: fully assume capture is not NULL in compact_zone_order()
Dan reports:

The patch 5e1f0f098b: "mm, compaction: capture a page under direct
compaction" from Mar 5, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

    mm/compaction.c:2321 compact_zone_order()
     error: we previously assumed 'capture' could be null (see line 2313)

mm/compaction.c
  2288  static enum compact_result compact_zone_order(struct zone *zone, int order,
  2289                  gfp_t gfp_mask, enum compact_priority prio,
  2290                  unsigned int alloc_flags, int classzone_idx,
  2291                  struct page **capture)
                                      ^^^^^^^

  2313		if (capture)
                    ^^^^^^^
Check for NULL

  2314			current->capture_control = &capc;
  2315
  2316		ret = compact_zone(&cc, &capc);
  2317
  2318		VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.freepages));
  2319		VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.migratepages));
  2320
  2321		*capture = capc.page;
                ^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference.

  2322		current->capture_control = NULL;
  2323

In practice this is not an issue, as the only caller path passes non-NULL
capture:

__alloc_pages_direct_compact()
  struct page *page = NULL;
  try_to_compact_pages(capture = &page);
    compact_zone_order(capture = capture);

So let's remove the unnecessary check, which should also make Smatch happy.

1da2f328fa mm,thp,compaction,cma: allow THP migration for CMA allocations
The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code for CMA
to clear out a region of memory already exists.

Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory when
attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.

With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when allocating a
1GB hugepage from CMA memory.

a2e9a5afce mm, compaction: fix wrong pfn handling in __reset_isolation_pfn()
Florian and Dave reported [1] a NULL pointer dereference in
__reset_isolation_pfn().  While the exact cause is unclear, staring at
the code revealed two bugs, which might be related.

One bug is that if zone starts in the middle of pageblock, block_page
might correspond to different pfn than block_pfn, and then the
pfn_valid_within() checks will check different pfn's than those accessed
via struct page.  This might result in acessing an unitialized page in
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.

The other bug is that end_page refers to the first page of next
pageblock and not last page of current pageblock.  The online and valid
check is then wrong and with sections, the while (page < end_page) loop
might wander off actual struct page arrays.

670105a256 mm: compaction: avoid 100% CPU usage during compaction when a task is killed
"howaboutsynergy" reported via kernel buzilla number 204165 that
compact_zone_order was consuming 100% CPU during a stress test for
prolonged periods of time.  Specifically the following command, which
should exit in 10 seconds, was taking an excessive time to finish while
the CPU was pegged at 100%.

  stress -m 220 --vm-bytes 1000000000 --timeout 10

Note that compaction is entered in rapid succession while scanning and
isolating nothing.  The problem is that when a task that is compacting
receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting
while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending.

It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on
the basis that the timing is altered.  A very small window has to be hit
for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and
isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX).

This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30%
zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng
implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits).
Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short
window.  With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed
normally instead of consuming CPU.

This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit
cf66f0700c ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as
contention").  Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then
locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.

e577c8b64d mm, compaction: make sure we isolate a valid PFN
When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(),
triggered by kswapd).

Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may end
up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid page.  This
could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below, due to an
invalid mem_section pointer.

The issue was reported on an arm64 server with 128GB with holes in the
zone (e.g, [32GB@4GB, 96GB@544GB]), with a swap device enabled, while
running 100 KVM guest instances.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that the page belongs to a valid
PFN when we fallback to using the lower limit of the scan range upon
failure in fast_isolate_freepages().

There is no reproducer and it is difficult to hit -- 1 crash every few
days.  The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c820
("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
skip hints").  When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.

A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.

A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
of a pageblock which is not intended.  While syzbot cannot be used to
verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
triggers with this patch applied.  It has also been confirmed that the THP
allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

He bisected it down to e332f741a8 ("mm, compaction: be selective about
what pageblocks to clear skip hints").  The problem is that the patch in
question was sloppy with respect to the handling of zone boundaries.  In
some instances, it was possible for PFNs outside of a zone to be examined
and if those were not properly initialised or poisoned then it would
trigger the VM_BUG_ON.  This patch corrects the zone boundary issues when
resetting pageblock skip hints and Mikhail reported that the bug did not
trigger after 30 hours of testing.

f4b7e272b5 mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directly
We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
	zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock

Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.  Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

5e1f0f098b mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task.  This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator.  The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details.  A
closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

e332f741a8 mm, compaction: be selective about what pageblocks to clear skip hints
Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes
enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is
cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets
with no free pages.  As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare
and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more
expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit.
Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned
unnecessarily on x86-64.

The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
differences in latency, success rates and scan rates.  This is expected
as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
generally a good thing.

4fca9730c5 mm, compaction: sample pageblocks for free pages
Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier.  This
patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages.  The
more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
until a pageblock with free pages is found.  The scanners might meet
slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
of the free scanner accordingly.

dbe2d4e4f1 mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target
As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
targets.  Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails.  This
patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.

The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
instead of being properly packed.  Previous testing had indicated that
without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
scanner without this patch.

d097a6f635 mm, compaction: reduce premature advancement of the migration target scanner
The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
the free list.  The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block().  When the
fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
low-order free pages.  This can cause the migration source/target
scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.

This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
responsibility of updating that information in the callers.  The fast
scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
pageblock is full or nearly full.  The linear scanner will update
skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
scanned.  The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
search.

The impact to latency is higher than the last version but it appears to
be due to a slight increase in the free scan rates which is a potential
side-effect of the patch.  However, this is necessary for later patches
that are more careful about how pageblocks are treated as earlier
iterations of those patches hit corner cases where the restarts were
punishing and very visible.

cf66f0700c mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention
Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled.  This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator.  This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.

The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated.  It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.

8854c55f54 mm, compaction: keep cached migration PFNs synced for unusable pageblocks
Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the
basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode.  However, if the
cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped
due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not
matter.  This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock
with isolation candidates is found.

The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the
async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless
work.  Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted
recently.

9bebefd590 mm, compaction: check early for huge pages encountered by the migration scanner
When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge
pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late
after a lot of setup and checking.  This patch short-cuts the check to
make it earlier.  It might still change when the lock is acquired but
this has less overhead overall.  The free scanner advances but the
migration scanner does not.  Typically the free scanner encounters more
movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and
also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its
portion of the physical address space with data.  This could change in
the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and
incurred fewer scan restarts.

The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the
free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by
3.3%.  The 2-socket results are not materially different.

cb2dcaf023 mm, compaction: finish pageblock scanning on contention
Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active.  The
consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
sources behind.

This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs.  When
it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
that block and then abort.  This will have a variable impact on latency
as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
latency).

There is a variable impact that is mostly good on latency while allocation
success rates are slightly higher.  System CPU usage is reduced by about
10% but scan rate impact is mixed

Compaction migrate scanned    27997659.00    20148867
Compaction free scanned      120782791.00   118324914

Migration scan rates are reduced 28% which is expected as a pageblock is
used by the async scanner instead of skipped.  The impact on the free
scanner is known to be variable.  Overall the primary justification for
this patch is that completing scanning of a pageblock is very important
for later patches.

804d3121ba mm, compaction: avoid rescanning the same pageblock multiple times
Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner.  Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete.  The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times.  Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.

This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned.  If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation.  This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping.  On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit.  A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.

The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case.  When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

5a811889de mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration target
Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
quickly locate a migration target.  The search is different in that
lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
the search is still bound.  This is justified on the grounds that the
free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
scanner.

If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
enough pages were isolated.  For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
skipping in the near future.

e380bebe47 mm, compaction: keep migration source private to a single compaction instance
Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
for migration.  This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
all the others.  It also allows a race between requests on which first
allocates the resulting free block.

This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
scanner carefully.  When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
the block is already in use.  Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
exclusive use.  Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range.  While
this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

70b44595ea mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration source
The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space.  Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate.  These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.

The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP.  It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block.  The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails.  After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page.  If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.

If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases.  Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

This shows an improvement in allocation latencies with similar

reduction in migration scanning and a 8% reduction on system CPU usage.
A 2-socket machine showed similar benefits.
