Per Vlastimil's review comment, Vlastimil, I updated based on your comment. Please review this. If everything is done, I will send v7 rebased on recent mmotm.

Recently, I got many reports about perfermance degradation in embedded system(Android mobile phone, webOS TV and so on) and easy fork fail. The problem was fragmentation caused by zram and GPU driver mainly. With memory pressure, their pages were spread out all of pageblock and it cannot be migrated with current compaction algorithm which supports only LRU pages. In the end, compaction cannot

From: Gioh Kim <gurugio at hanmail.net> Hello, This series try to enable migration of non-LRU pages, such as driver's page. My ARM-based platform occured severe fragmentation problem after long-term (several days) test. Sometimes even order-3 page allocation failed. It has memory size 512MB ~ 1024MB. 30% ~ 40% memory is consumed for graphic processing and 20~30 memory is reserved for

We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order

Now, VM has a feature to migrate non-lru movable pages so balloon doesn't need custom migration hooks in migrate.c and compact.c. Instead, this patch implements page->mapping ->{isolate|migrate|putback} functions. With that, we could remove hooks for ballooning in general migration functions and make balloon compaction simple.

Greetings, after Carsten pitched CMM2 on the kvm mini summit here is a repost of version 5 of the guest page hinting patches. The code is still the same but has been adapted to the latest git level. -- blue skies, Martin. "Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin.

Per Vlastimi's review comment. Thanks for the detail review, Vlastimi! If you have another concern, feel free to say. After I resolve all thing, I will send v7 rebased on recent mmotm. >From b14aaeeeeb2d3ac0702c7b2eec36409d74406d43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim <minchan at kernel.org> Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 10:34:49 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] mm: migrate: support non-lru

After way to many months here is the fifth version of the guest page hinting patches. Compared to version four a few improvements have been added: - Avoid page_host_discards() calls outside of page-states.h - The discard list is now implemented via the page_free_discarded hook and architecture specific code. - PG_state_change page flag has been replaced with architecture specficic
