Vlastimil Babka ebff398017 mm, compaction: pass classzone_idx and alloc_flags to watermark checking
Compaction relies on zone watermark checks for decisions such as if it's
worth to start compacting in compaction_suitable() or whether compaction
should stop in compact_finished().  The watermark checks take
classzone_idx and alloc_flags parameters, which are related to the memory
allocation request.  But from the context of compaction they are currently
passed as 0, including the direct compaction which is invoked to satisfy
the allocation request, and could therefore know the proper values.

The lack of proper values can lead to mismatch between decisions taken
during compaction and decisions related to the allocation request.  Lack
of proper classzone_idx value means that lowmem_reserve is not taken into
account.  This has manifested (during recent changes to deferred
compaction) when DMA zone was used as fallback for preferred Normal zone.
compaction_suitable() without proper classzone_idx would think that the
watermarks are already satisfied, but watermark check in
get_page_from_freelist() would fail.  Because of this problem, deferring
compaction has extra complexity that can be removed in the following
patch.

The issue (not confirmed in practice) with missing alloc_flags is opposite
in nature.  For allocations that include ALLOC_HIGH, ALLOC_HIGHER or
ALLOC_CMA in alloc_flags (the last includes all MOVABLE allocations on
CMA-enabled systems) the watermark checking in compaction with 0 passed
will be stricter than in get_page_from_freelist().  In these cases
compaction might be running for a longer time than is really needed.

Another issue compaction_suitable() is that the check for "does the zone
need compaction at all?" comes only after the check "does the zone have
enough free free pages to succeed compaction".  The latter considers extra
pages for migration and can therefore in some situations fail and return
COMPACT_SKIPPED, although the high-order allocation would succeed and we
should return COMPACT_PARTIAL.

This patch fixes these problems by adding alloc_flags and classzone_idx to
struct compact_control and related functions involved in direct compaction
and watermark checking.  Where possible, all other callers of
compaction_suitable() pass proper values where those are known.  This is
currently limited to classzone_idx, which is sometimes known in kswapd
context.  However, the direct reclaim callers should_continue_reclaim()
and compaction_ready() do not currently know the proper values, so the
coordination between reclaim and compaction may still not be as accurate
as it could.  This can be fixed later, if it's shown to be an issue.

Additionaly the checks in compact_suitable() are reordered to address the
second issue described above.

The effect of this patch should be slightly better high-order allocation
success rates and/or less compaction overhead, depending on the type of
allocations and presence of CMA.  It allows simplifying deferred
compaction code in a followup patch.

When testing with stress-highalloc, there was some slight improvement
(which might be just due to variance) in success rates of non-THP-like
allocations.
