[PATCH] mm, hugetlb: do not allocate non-migrateable gigantic pages from movable zones

[PATCH] mm, hugetlb: do not allocate non-migrateable gigantic pages from movable zones

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

alloc_gigantic_page doesn't consider movability of the gigantic hugetlb
when scanning eligible ranges for the allocation. As 1GB hugetlb pages
are not movable currently this can break the movable zone assumption
that all allocations are migrateable and as such break memory hotplug.

Reorganize the code and use the standard zonelist allocations scheme
that we use for standard hugetbl pages. htlb_alloc_mask will ensure that
only migratable hugetlb pages will ever see a movable zone.

Fixes: 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime")

Hi,
I have posted this previously more or less as an RFC [1] because the
patch is a result of a code review not a real bug report. I wanted to
know more about the motivation why the original patch (944d9fec8d7a)
did the allocation that way but the more I think about it the more I am
convinced that this was just an omission because not everybody is aware
of zone movable semantic.

Mike has reviewed the code and did some smoke testing. I've done some
testing as well.

Therefore I am sending the patch for inclusion.
