From 7fef431be9c9ac255838a9578331567b9dba4477 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:09:35 -0700 Subject: mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core() __free_pages_core() is used when exposing fresh memory to the buddy during system boot and when onlining memory in generic_online_page(). generic_online_page() is used in two cases: 1. Direct memory onlining in online_pages(). 2. Deferred memory onlining in memory-ballooning-like mechanisms (HyperV balloon and virtio-mem), when parts of a section are kept fake-offline to be fake-onlined later on. In 1, we already place pages to the tail of the freelist. Pages will be freed to MIGRATE_ISOLATE lists first and moved to the tail of the freelists via undo_isolate_page_range(). In 2, we currently don't implement a proper rule. In case of virtio-mem, where we currently always online MAX_ORDER - 1 pages, the pages will be placed to the HEAD of the freelist - undesireable. While the hyper-v balloon calls generic_online_page() with single pages, usually it will call it on successive single pages in a larger block. The pages are fresh, so place them to the tail of the freelist and avoid the PCP. In __free_pages_core(), remove the now superflouos call to set_page_refcounted() and add a comment regarding page initialization and the refcount. Note: In 2. we currently don't shuffle. If ever relevant (page shuffling is usually of limited use in virtualized environments), we might want to shuffle after a sequence of generic_online_page() calls in the relevant callers.
