Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: Make alloc_contig_range handle free hugetlb pages
Date:   Wed, 17 Feb 2021 11:08:15 +0100
Message-Id: <20210217100816.28860-2-osalvador@suse.de>
In-Reply-To: <20210217100816.28860-1-osalvador@suse.de>
References: <20210217100816.28860-1-osalvador@suse.de>
Precedence: bulk

Free hugetlb pages are tricky to handle so as to no userspace application
notices disruption, we need to replace the current free hugepage with
a new one.

In order to do that, a new function called alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page
is introduced.
This function will first try to get a new fresh hugetlb page, and if it
succeeds, it will dissolve the old one.

With regard to the allocation, since we do not know whether the old page
was allocated on a specific node on request, the node the old page belongs
to will be tried first, and then we will fallback to all nodes containing
memory (N_MEMORY).

Note that gigantic hugetlb pages are fenced off since there is a cyclic
dependency between them and alloc_contig_range.
