Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/min_free_kbytes: modify min_free_kbytes calculation rules
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2023 17:20:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230621092048.5242-1-liuq131@chinatelecom.cn> (raw)

The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN]
will also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min
watermark of ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE.

__GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable
zone pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small
value in __setup_per_zone_wmarks.

On my testing machine with 16GB of memory (transparent hugepage is
turned off by default, and movablecore=12G is configured)
The following is a comparative test data of watermark_min

		no patch	add patch
ZONE_DMA	1		8
ZONE_DMA32	151		709
ZONE_NORMAL	233		1113
ZONE_MOVABLE	1434		128
min_free_kbytes	7288		7326
