v2
o previous failure in linux-next turned out that it's not the problem of
this patchset. It was caused by the wrong assumption by specific
architecture.
lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
o add missing cache flush to the patch "ARM: CMA: avoid double mapping
to the CMA area if CONFIG_HIGHMEM = y"
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the
"Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information
is needed.
In this patchset, the memory of the CMA area is managed by using
the ZONE_MOVABLE. Since there is another type of the memory in this zone,
we need to maintain a migratetype for the CMA memory to account
the number of the CMA memory. So, unlike previous patchset, there is
less deletion of the code.
Otherwise, there is no big change.
Motivation of this patchset is described in the commit description of
the patch "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using
the ZONE_MOVABLE". Please refer it for more information.
This patchset is based on linux-next-20170822 plus
"mm/page_alloc: don't reserve ZONE_HIGHMEM for ZONE_MOVABLE".
Thanks.

0. History
This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the
"Introduce ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1]. Please reference it if more information
is needed.
1. What does this patch do?
This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area
in the MM subsystem. Currently, The memory of the CMA area is managed
by the zone where their pfn is belong to. However, this approach has
some problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle
the situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of
the CMA area by using the MOVABLE zone. In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of
the CMA area are the same. So, managing the memory of the CMA area
by using the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.
2. Motivation
There are some problems with current approach. See following.
Although these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without
this conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various
code path and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really
error-prone. Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach.
Anyway, following is the problems of the current implementation.
o CMA memory utilization
First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage
Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted. At that moment
that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0
If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started. After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.
FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.
o useless reclaim
There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path. Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can
be usable for the kernel allocation.
o atomic allocation failure
This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory
of the CMA area. Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come. Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage calculation
logic.
- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.
- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0
It was reported by Aneesh [3].
o useless compaction
Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area. In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there. As mentioned above, it cannot be usable
for the unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.
3. Current approach and new approach
Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the zone
where their pfn is belong to. However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation. So, they are marked
as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially. However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic
to deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.
New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the MOVABLE zone. MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone. So, managing the memory of the CMA area
by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be migratable
is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.
There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA area.
The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with GFP_HIGHMEM &&
GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also only allowed for
this gfp flag. Before this patchset, a request with GFP_MOVABLE can use
them. IMO, It would not be a big issue since most of GFP_MOVABLE request
also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag. For example, file cache page and anonymous page.
However, file cache page for blockdev file is an exception. Request for it
has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag. There is pros and cons on this exception.
In my experience, blockdev file cache pages are one of the top reason
that causes cma_alloc() to fail temporarily. So, we can get more guarantee
of cma_alloc() success by discarding this case.
Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem. Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be printed
in the MOVABLE zone. That's all.

2.7.4
From: Joonsoo Kim <[email protected]>
CMA area is now managed by the separate zone, ZONE_MOVABLE,
to fix many MM related problems. In this implementation, if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM = y, then ZONE_MOVABLE is considered as HIGHMEM and
the memory of the CMA area is also considered as HIGHMEM.
That means that they are considered as the page without direct mapping.
However, CMA area could be in a lowmem and the memory could have
direct mapping.
In ARM, when establishing a new mapping for DMA, direct mapping should
be cleared since two mapping with different cache policy could cause
unknown problem. With this patch, PageHighmem() for the CMA memory
located in lowmem returns true so that the function for DMA mapping
cannot notice whether it needs to clear direct mapping or not, correctly.
To handle this situation, this patch always clears direct mapping
for such CMA memory.

Hello, Andrew.
Sorry for late response. I was on a long vacation.
I don't do anything on that patch yet. In fact, that patch isn't really
necessary to this patchset so I didn't include it into this patchset.
I will re-submit that patch after fixing the issue.
Thanks.
