...ace in CMA so system becomes very slow easily. To solve these problem, this patch tries to add facility to migrate non-lru pages via introducing new functions and page flags to help migration. struct address_space_operations { .. .. bool (*isolate_page)(struct page *, isolate_mode_t); void (*putback_page)(struct page *); .. } new page flags PG_movable PG_isolated For details, please read description in "mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration". Originally, Gioh Kim had tried to support this feature but he moved so I took over the work. I took many code from his work and...
