Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 4/5] mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core()
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 22:33:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM9Jb+iRpsSPET0ntvNRqnw3i44mDKjqYvKWXxPune5pBgpGvA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200928182110.7050-5-david@redhat.com>

> __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 freelists 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.
