Subject: [PATCHv20 00/15] Contiguous Memory Allocator

Welcome everyone again!

This is yet another quick update on Contiguous Memory Allocator patches.
This version includes another set of code cleanups requested by Mel
Gorman and a few minor bug fixes. I really hope that this version will
be accepted for merging and future development will be handled by
incremental patches.

ARM integration code has not been changed since v16. It provides
implementation of the ideas that has been discussed during Linaro Sprint
meeting in Cambourne, August 2011. Here are the details:

This version provides a solution for complete integration of CMA to
DMA mapping subsystem on ARM architecture. The issue caused by double
dma pages mapping and possible aliasing in coherent memory mapping has
been finally resolved, both for GFP_ATOMIC case (allocations comes from
coherent memory pool) and non-GFP_ATOMIC case (allocations comes from
CMA managed areas).

For coherent, nommu, ARMv4 and ARMv5 systems the current DMA-mapping
implementation has been kept.

For ARMv6+ systems, CMA has been enabled and a special pool of coherent
memory for atomic allocations has been created. The size of this pool
defaults to DEFAULT_CONSISTEN_DMA_SIZE/8, but can be changed with
coherent_pool kernel parameter (if really required).

All atomic allocations are served from this pool. I've did a little
simplification here, because there is no separate pool for writecombine
memory - such requests are also served from coherent pool. I don't
think that such simplification is a problem here - I found no driver
that use dma_alloc_writecombine with GFP_ATOMIC flags.

All non-atomic allocation are served from CMA area. Kernel mappings are
updated to reflect required memory attributes changes. This is possible
because during early boot, all CMA area are remapped with 4KiB pages in
kernel low-memory.

This version have been tested on Samsung S5PC110 based Goni machine and
Exynos4 UniversalC210 board with various V4L2 multimedia drivers.

Coherent atomic allocations has been tested by manually enabling the dma
bounce for the s3c-sdhci device.

All patches are prepared on top of Linux Kernel v3.3-rc2.

A few words for these who see CMA for the first time:

The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible for device
drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system
has booted.

The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework will migrate system pages to create a required big chunk of
physically contiguous memory.

For more information you can refer to nice LWN articles:
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
as well as links to previous versions of the CMA framework.

The CMA framework has been initially developed by Michal Nazarewicz
at Samsung Poland R&D Center. Since version 9, I've taken over the
development, because Michal has left the company. Since version v17
Michal is working again on CMA patches and the current version is
the result of our joint open-source effort.

Changelog:

v20:
1. Addressed even more comments from Mel Gorman and added his Acked-by tag
on most of the core memory management patches.

2. Squashed a few minor fixes here and there (corrected alignment calculation
for region limit, added adjusting low watermark level on reclaim, fixed
return value of __alloc_contig_migrate_range function)

3. Removed problematic "mm: page_alloc: update migrate type of pages on pcp
when isolating" patch and sligtly altered MIGRATE_CMA type handling what
solved the problem

4. Rebased onto v3.3-rc2

v19:
1. Addressed another set of comments and suggestions from Mel Gorman, mainly
related to breaking patches into smaller, single-feature related chunks
and rewriting already existing functions in memory compaction code.

2. Reworked completely page reclaim code, removed it from split_free_page()
and introduce direct call from alloc_contig_range().

3. Merged a fix from Mans Rullgard for correct cma area limit alignment.

4. Replaced broken "mm: page_alloc: set_migratetype_isolate: drain PCP prior
to isolating" patch with "mm: page_alloc: update migrate type of pages on
pcp when isolating" which is another attempt to solve this issue without
touching free_pcppages_bulk().

5. Rebased onto v3.3-rc1

v18:
1. Addressed comments and suggestions from Mel Gorman related to changes
in memory compaction code, most important points:
- removed "mm: page_alloc: handle MIGRATE_ISOLATE in free_pcppages_bulk()"
and moved all the logic to set_migratetype_isolate - see
"mm: page_alloc: set_migratetype_isolate: drain PCP prior to isolating"
patch
- code in "mm: compaction: introduce isolate_{free,migrate}pages_range()"
patch have been simplified and improved
- removed "mm: mmzone: introduce zone_pfn_same_memmap()" patch

2. Fixed crash on initialization if HIGHMEM is available on ARM platforms

3. Fixed problems with allocation of contiguous memory if all free pages
are occupied by page cache and reclaim is required.

4. Added a workaround for temporary migration failures (now CMA tries
to allocate different memory block in such case), what heavily increased
reliability of the CMA.

5. Minor cleanup here and there.

6. Rebased onto v3.2-rc7 kernel tree.

v17:
1. Replaced whole CMA core memory migration code to the new one kindly
provided by Michal Nazarewicz. The new code is based on memory
compaction framework not the memory hotplug, like it was before. This
change has been suggested by Mel Godman.

2. Addressed most of the comments from Andrew Morton and Mel Gorman in
the rest of the CMA code.

3. Fixed broken initialization on ARM systems with DMA zone enabled.

4. Rebased onto v3.2-rc2 kernel.

v16:
1. merged a fixup from Michal Nazarewicz to address comments from Dave
Hansen about checking if pfns belong to the same memory zone

2. merged a fix from Michal Nazarewicz for incorrect handling of pages
which belong to page block that is in MIGRATE_ISOLATE state, in very
rare cases the migrate type of page block might have been changed
from MIGRATE_CMA to MIGRATE_MOVABLE because of this bug

3. moved some common code to include/asm-generic

4. added support for x86 DMA-mapping framework for pci-dma hardware,
CMA can be now even more widely tested on KVM/QEMU and a lot of common
x86 boxes

5. rebased onto next-20111005 kernel tree, which includes changes in ARM
DMA-mapping subsystem (CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE removal)

6. removed patch for CMA s5p-fimc device private regions (served only as
example) and provided the one that matches real life case - s5p-mfc
device

v15:
1. fixed calculation of the total memory after activating CMA area (was
broken from v12)

2. more code cleanup in drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c

3. added address limit for default CMA area

4. rewrote ARM DMA integration:
- removed "ARM: DMA: steal memory for DMA coherent mappings" patch
- kept current DMA mapping implementation for coherent, nommu and
ARMv4/ARMv5 systems
- enabled CMA for all ARMv6+ systems
- added separate, small pool for coherent atomic allocations, defaults
to CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE/8, but can be changed with kernel parameter
coherent_pool=[size]

v14:
1. Merged with "ARM: DMA: steal memory for DMA coherent mappings"
patch, added support for GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

2. Added checks for NULL device pointer

v13: (internal, intentionally not released)

v12:
1. Fixed 2 nasty bugs in dma-contiguous allocator:
- alignment argument was not passed correctly
- range for dma_release_from_contiguous was not checked correctly

2. Added support for architecture specfic dma_contiguous_early_fixup()
function

3. CMA and DMA-mapping integration for ARM architechture has been
rewritten to take care of the memory aliasing issue that might
happen for newer ARM CPUs (mapping of the same pages with different
cache attributes is forbidden). TODO: add support for GFP_ATOMIC
allocations basing on the "ARM: DMA: steal memory for DMA coherent
mappings" patch and implement support for contiguous memory areas
that are placed in HIGHMEM zone

v11:
1. Removed genalloc usage and replaced it with direct calls to
bitmap_* functions, dropped patches that are not needed
anymore (genalloc extensions)

2. Moved all contiguous area management code from mm/cma.c
to drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c

3. Renamed cm_alloc/free to dma_alloc/release_from_contiguous

4. Introduced global, system wide (default) contiguous area
configured with kernel config and kernel cmdline parameters

5. Simplified initialization to just one function:
dma_declare_contiguous()

6. Added example of device private memory contiguous area

v10:
1. Rebased onto 3.0-rc2 and resolved all conflicts

2. Simplified CMA to be just a pure memory allocator, for use
with platfrom/bus specific subsystems, like dma-mapping.
Removed all device specific functions are calls.

3. Integrated with ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.

4. Code cleanup here and there.

5. Removed private context support.

v9: 1. Rebased onto 2.6.39-rc1 and resolved all conflicts

2. Fixed a bunch of nasty bugs that happened when the allocation
failed (mainly kernel oops due to NULL ptr dereference).

3. Introduced testing code: cma-regions compatibility layer and
videobuf2-cma memory allocator module.

v8: 1. The alloc_contig_range() function has now been separated from
CMA and put in page_allocator.c. This function tries to
migrate all LRU pages in specified range and then allocate the
range using alloc_contig_freed_pages().

2. Support for MIGRATE_CMA has been separated from the CMA code.
I have not tested if CMA works with ZONE_MOVABLE but I see no
reasons why it shouldn't.

3. I have added a @private argument when creating CMA contexts so
that one can reserve memory and not share it with the rest of
the system. This way, CMA acts only as allocation algorithm.

v7: 1. A lot of functionality that handled driver->allocator_context
mapping has been removed from the patchset. This is not to say
that this code is not needed, it's just not worth posting
everything in one patchset.

Currently, CMA is "just" an allocator. It uses it's own
migratetype (MIGRATE_CMA) for defining ranges of pageblokcs
which behave just like ZONE_MOVABLE but dispite the latter can
be put in arbitrary places.

2. The migration code that was introduced in the previous version
actually started working.


v6: 1. Most importantly, v6 introduces support for memory migration.
The implementation is not yet complete though.

Migration support means that when CMA is not using memory
reserved for it, page allocator can allocate pages from it.
When CMA wants to use the memory, the pages have to be moved
and/or evicted as to make room for CMA.

To make it possible it must be guaranteed that only movable and
reclaimable pages are allocated in CMA controlled regions.
This is done by introducing a MIGRATE_CMA migrate type that
guarantees exactly that.

Some of the migration code is "borrowed" from Kamezawa
Hiroyuki's alloc_contig_pages() implementation. The main
difference is that thanks to MIGRATE_CMA migrate type CMA
assumes that memory controlled by CMA are is always movable or
reclaimable so that it makes allocation decisions regardless of
the whether some pages are actually allocated and migrates them
if needed.

The most interesting patches from the patchset that implement
the functionality are:

09/13: mm: alloc_contig_free_pages() added
10/13: mm: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added
11/13: mm: MIGRATE_CMA isolation functions added
12/13: mm: cma: Migration support added [wip]

Currently, kernel panics in some situations which I am trying
to investigate.

2. cma_pin() and cma_unpin() functions has been added (after
a conversation with Johan Mossberg). The idea is that whenever
hardware does not use the memory (no transaction is on) the
chunk can be moved around. This would allow defragmentation to
be implemented if desired. No defragmentation algorithm is
provided at this time.

3. Sysfs support has been replaced with debugfs. I always felt
unsure about the sysfs interface and when Greg KH pointed it
out I finally got to rewrite it to debugfs.


v5: (intentionally left out as CMA v5 was identical to CMA v4)


v4: 1. The "asterisk" flag has been removed in favour of requiring
that platform will provide a "*=<regions>" rule in the map
attribute.

2. The terminology has been changed slightly renaming "kind" to
"type" of memory. In the previous revisions, the documentation
indicated that device drivers define memory kinds and now,

v3: 1. The command line parameters have been removed (and moved to
a separate patch, the fourth one). As a consequence, the
cma_set_defaults() function has been changed -- it no longer
accepts a string with list of regions but an array of regions.

2. The "asterisk" attribute has been removed. Now, each region
has an "asterisk" flag which lets one specify whether this
region should by considered "asterisk" region.

3. SysFS support has been moved to a separate patch (the third one
in the series) and now also includes list of regions.

v2: 1. The "cma_map" command line have been removed. In exchange,
a SysFS entry has been created under kernel/mm/contiguous.

The intended way of specifying the attributes is
a cma_set_defaults() function called by platform initialisation
code. "regions" attribute (the string specified by "cma"
command line parameter) can be overwritten with command line
parameter; the other attributes can be changed during run-time
using the SysFS entries.

2. The behaviour of the "map" attribute has been modified
slightly. Currently, if no rule matches given device it is
assigned regions specified by the "asterisk" attribute. It is
by default built from the region names given in "regions"
attribute.

3. Devices can register private regions as well as regions that
can be shared but are not reserved using standard CMA
mechanisms. A private region has no name and can be accessed
only by devices that have the pointer to it.

4. The way allocators are registered has changed. Currently,
a cma_allocator_register() function is used for that purpose.
Moreover, allocators are attached to regions the first time
memory is registered from the region or when allocator is
registered which means that allocators can be dynamic modules
that are loaded after the kernel booted (of course, it won't be
possible to allocate a chunk of memory from a region if
allocator is not loaded).

5. Index of new functions:

+static inline dma_addr_t __must_check
+cma_alloc_from(const char *regions, size_t size,
+ dma_addr_t alignment)

+static inline int
+cma_info_about(struct cma_info *info, const const char *regions)

+int __must_check cma_region_register(struct cma_region *reg);

+dma_addr_t __must_check
+cma_alloc_from_region(struct cma_region *reg,
+ size_t size, dma_addr_t alignment);

+static inline dma_addr_t __must_check
+cma_alloc_from(const char *regions,
+ size_t size, dma_addr_t alignment);

+int cma_allocator_register(struct cma_allocator *alloc);

Subject: [PATCH 11/15] mm: trigger page reclaim in alloc_contig_range() to stabilize watermarks

alloc_contig_range() performs memory allocation so it also should keep
track on keeping the correct level of memory watermarks. This commit adds
a call to *_slowpath style reclaim to grab enough pages to make sure that
the final collection of contiguous pages from freelists will not starve
the system.

Subject: [PATCH 08/15] mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added

From: Michal Nazarewicz <[email protected]>

The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics:
(i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration
type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks.

This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page
block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no
memory left in the system).

It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB)
of physically contiguous memory. Once driver requests
contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be
migrated away to create a contiguous block.

To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type
is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other
migration types then requested.

Subject: [PATCH 06/15] mm: page_alloc: introduce alloc_contig_range()

From: Michal Nazarewicz <[email protected]>

This commit adds the alloc_contig_range() function which tries
to allocate given range of pages. It tries to migrate all
already allocated pages that fall in the range thus freeing them.
Once all pages in the range are freed they are removed from the
buddy system thus allocated for the caller to use.

Subject: [PATCH 12/15] drivers: add Contiguous Memory Allocator

The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA
mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks.

CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with CMA_MIGRATE_TYPE and
gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate movable pages
within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for page
cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On dma_alloc_from_contiguous()
request such pages are migrated out of CMA area to free required
contiguous block and fulfill the request. This allows to allocate large
contiguous chunks of memory at any time assuming that there is enough
free memory available in the system.

This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

+ * The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible to

+ *
+ * Why is it needed?
+ *
+ * Various devices on embedded systems have no scatter-getter and/or
+ * IO map support and require contiguous blocks of memory to
+ * operate. They include devices such as cameras, hardware video
+ * coders, etc.
+ *
+ * Such devices often require big memory buffers (a full HD frame
+ * is, for instance, more then 2 mega pixels large, i.e. more than 6
+ * MB of memory), which makes mechanisms such as kmalloc() or
+ * alloc_page() ineffective.
+ *
+ * At the same time, a solution where a big memory region is
+ * reserved for a device is suboptimal since often more memory is
+ * reserved then strictly required and, moreover, the memory is
+ * inaccessible to page system even if device drivers don't use it.
+ *
+ * CMA tries to solve this issue by operating on memory regions
+ * where only movable pages can be allocated from. This way, kernel
+ * can use the memory for pagecache and when device driver requests
+ * it, allocated pages can be migrated.
+ *
+ * Driver usage
+ *
+ * CMA should not be used by the device drivers directly. It is
+ * only a helper framework for dma-mapping subsystem.

Subject: [PATCH 14/15] ARM: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystem

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialization).

Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.

GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.

CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

Subject: [PATCH 13/15] X86: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystem

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for x86
architecture that uses common pci-dma/pci-nommu implementation. This
allows to test CMA on KVM/QEMU and a lot of common x86 boxes.

Subject: [PATCH 10/15] mm: extract reclaim code from __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim()

This patch extracts common reclaim code from __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim()
function to separate function: __perform_reclaim() which can be later used
by alloc_contig_range().

Subject: [PATCH 05/15] mm: compaction: export some of the functions

From: Michal Nazarewicz <[email protected]>

This commit exports some of the functions from compaction.c file
outside of it adding their declaration into internal.h header
file so that other mm related code can use them.

This forced compaction.c to always be compiled (as opposed to being
compiled only if CONFIG_COMPACTION is defined) but as to avoid
introducing code that user did not ask for, part of the compaction.c
is now wrapped in on #ifdef.

Subject: [PATCH 09/15] mm: page_isolation: MIGRATE_CMA isolation functions added

From: Michal Nazarewicz <[email protected]>

This commit changes various functions that change pages and
pageblocks migrate type between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and
MIGRATE_MOVABLE in such a way as to allow to work with
MIGRATE_CMA migrate type.

Subject: [PATCH 03/15] mm: compaction: introduce map_pages()

From: Michal Nazarewicz <[email protected]>

This commit creates a map_pages() function which map pages freed
using split_free_pages(). This merely moves some code from
isolate_freepages() so that it can be reused in other places.

Subject: [PATCH 07/15] mm: page_alloc: change fallbacks array handling

From: Michal Nazarewicz <[email protected]>

This commit adds a row for MIGRATE_ISOLATE type to the fallbacks array
which was missing from it. It also, changes the array traversal logic
a little making MIGRATE_RESERVE an end marker. The letter change,
removes the implicit MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE from the end of each row which
was read by __rmqueue_fallback() function.

This chunk is not used with the patch. Usually a hunk like this would
be part of the patch that used it. Functionally it looks ok but
I see that the function that calls it is *not* __init. That should
trigger a section warning. Do a make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y
and clean it up if necessary.

Ok, so while I'm not happy with the CONFIG_CMA bit here, so be it for
now. There are a few things I would like to see with it though in the
future

1. Add a comment explaning why it is necessary only for CONFIG_CMA.
Put all the ugliness in the changelog if you like, it's already
been written up in a mail so you can cut and paste the changelog

2. If there exists a second hunk that has this sort of ugliness,
consider doing something like

#ifdef CONFIG_CMA
#define CMA_BUILD 1
#else
#define CMA_BUILD 0
#endif

if (CONFIG_CMA) {
int mt = get_pageblock_migratetype(page);
if (!is_migrate_cma(mt) && mt != MIGRATE_ISOLATE)
mt = migratetype;
}

That can be slightly tidier and easier to follow while still getting
optimised out for !CONFIG_CMA

3. Consider trying to get rid of the CONFIG_CMA part entirely. Do this
by having a readmostly static variable that is *only* set
while MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks exist. If they exist, then
unconditionally do this paranoid check documenting that both memory
hotplug and CMA benefit from it. The advantage is that you get
the careful checking that you want but incur the cost in the page
allocator *only* when you are actively trying to allocate with CMA.

e.g.

static int nr_migrate_isolate __read_mostly;

int set_migratetype_isolate(struct page *page)
{
....
nr_migrate_isolate++;
....
}

void unset_migratetype_isolate(struct page *page)
{
...
nr_migrate_isolate--;
...
}

Be careful to get the accounting of nr_migrate_isolate right during
memory hot-remove if unset_migratetype_isolate is not called because
the memory is offlined.In rmqueue_bulk() then do

/*
* During memory hot-remove and during CMA allocation, be
* careful that pages that were added to the per-cpu
* lists before the pageblock was marked MIGRATE_ISOLATE and
* not moved properly are accounted for properly
*/
if (nr_migrate_isolate) {
int mt = get_pageblock_migratetype(page);
if (!is_migrate_cma(mt) && mt != MIGRATE_ISOLATE)
mt = migratetype;
}

Make sense?

I still do not intend to ack this patch and any damage is confined to
CMA but I have a few comments anyway.

There is a risk of overflow here although it is incredibly
small. Still, a potentially nicer way of doing this was

count << (PAGE_SHIFT - 10)

> + setup_per_zone_wmarks();
> +

Nothing prevents two or more processes updating the wmarks at the same
time which is racy and unpredictable. Today it is not much of a problem
but CMA makes this path hotter than it was and you may see weirdness
if two processes are updating zonelists at the same time. Swap-over-NFS
actually starts with a patch that serialises setup_per_zone_wmarks()

You also potentially have a BIG problem here if this happens

min_free_kbytes = 32768
Process a: min_free_kbytes += 65536
Process a: start direct reclaim
echo 16374 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
Process a: exit direct_reclaim
Process a: min_free_kbytes -= 65536

min_free_kbytes now wraps negative and the machine hangs.

The damage is confined to CMA though so I am not going to lose sleep
over it but you might want to consider at least preventing parallel
updates to min_free_kbytes from proc.

FWIW, I've acked all I'm going to ack of this series and made some
suggestions on follow-ups on the core MM parts that could be done
in-tree. I think the current reclaim logic is going to burn CMA with
race conditions but it is a CMA-specific problem so watch out for
that :)

As before, I did not even look at the CMA driver itself or the
arch-specific parts. I'm assuming Arnd has that side of things covered.

Thanks Marek.

Just nitpick, since the helper is not directly related to what async means,

I feel current name is better suited since it says that it's OK to scan this

The input is the migrate type of page considered, and the async is only one
of the modes that compaction should be carried out. Plus the helper is
also used in other cases where async is entirely not concerned.

That said, the naming is not clear, if not misleading.

CMA will work as long as you manage to get some pageblocks marked as
MIGRATE_CMA and move all non-movable pages away. You might try and get it
done after system has booted but we have not tried nor tested it.
Reservation at boot time lets us make sure that the portion of memory we
are grabbing has no unmovable pages.

You might still and use alloc_contig_pages() on its own (even without
MIGRATE_CMA) but that would require additional code which would look for
a region of memory that could be used (ie. that does not have unmovable
pages in it). That in fact was what Kamezawa's code was doing.

In the first version the function was called is_migrate_cma_or_movable() which
described what the function checked. Mel did not like it though, hence the
change to migrate_async_suitable(). Honestly, I'm not sure what would be the
best name for function.

Better if enforced compilation of compaction is addressed in separate
patch in the patchset, according to the rule that one patch is delivered
with one issue concerned.

Better to include whatever test results in change log.

CMA memory management core (migration and allocation of pages) should support
areas placed in HIGHMEM without any additional works. The main limitation is
in the DMA-mapping framework. Right now it makes certain assumptions about page
mappings to simplify allocation process. You need to add support for dynamic
mappings there.

There's another problem I am facing with zone watermarks and CMA.

Test details:
Memory : 480 MB of total memory, 128 MB CMA region
Test case : around 600 MB of file transfer over USB RNDIS onto target
System Load : ftpd with console running on target.
No one is doing CMA allocations except for the DMA allocations done by the
drivers.

Result : After about 300MB transfer, I start getting GFP_ATOMIC
allocation failures.
This only happens if CMA region is reserved.

Here's the free_list before I start the test

Free pages count per migrate type at order 0 1 2
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Node 0, zone Normal, type Unmovable 2 9 6
7 3 3 3 4 2 1 0
Node 0, zone Normal, type Reclaimable 31 4 1
2 1 1 0 1 1 0 0
Node 0, zone Normal, type Movable 22 20 23
14 3 4 4 3 1 0 70
Node 0, zone Normal, type Reserve 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
Node 0, zone Normal, type CMA 2 0 0
2 1 1 1 1 1 1 34
Node 0, zone Normal, type Isolate 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

and here's what I get when I print the same when allocation fails.

Normal: Free pages count per migrate type at order 0 1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
[ 401.887634] zone Normal, type Unmovable

Total memory available is way above the zone watermarks. So, we ended
up starving
UNMOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE atomic allocations that cannot fallback on CMA region.

I know the CMA region is big, but I think reducing the region size
will only delay the problem.
it walso on't recover as long as most of the CMA region pages get
allocated and the zone
watermark is hit

To check my theory, I changed __zone_watermark_ok() to ignore free CMA pages
With this change, the transfer succeeds w/o any failures.

The patch does make things slow of course. Ideally, I would have liked
to do this only if
the watermark is being checked for non-Movable allocations, but I couldn't find
an easy way to do that.

Right. This approach was definitely too hacky. What do you think about replacing
it with the following code (I assume that setup_per_zone_wmarks() serialization
patch will be merged anyway so I skipped it here):

What if we have NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES in vmstat and use them to calculate
__zone_watermark_ok()?
However, it still doesn't solve the problem when we DON'T want to use
NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES in case of MOVABLE allocations.

It's part of a larger series and the rest of that series is
controversial. That single patch can be split out obviously so feel free
to add it to your series and stick your Signed-off-by on the end of it.

This is better in that it is not vunerable to parallel updates of
min_free_kbytes. It would be slightly tidier to introduce something
like cma_wmark_pages() that returns min_cma_pages if CONFIG_CMA and 0
otherwise. Use the helper to get right of this ifdef CONFIG_CMA within
setup_per_zone_wmarks().

You'll still have the problem of kswapd not taking CMA pages properly into
account when deciding whether to reclaim or not though.

Ok, I will grab it from that series.

Thanks for the hint. I will submit this change soon.

This will only affect CMA clients, I hope we can fix this later once the patches
get merged. I would really like to get it into v3.4, what means that it should be
tested in next asap.
