[PATCH] mm: cma: allocate cma areas bottom-up

[PATCH] mm: cma: allocate cma areas bottom-up

[Roman Gushchin]

Currently cma areas without a fixed base address are allocated
close to the end of the node. This placement is sub-optimal because
of how the compaction works: it effectively moves pages into
the cma area. In particular, it often brings in hot executable pages,
even if there is a plenty of free memory on the machine.
This results in more cma allocation failures.

Instead let's place cma areas close to the beginning of a node.
Cma first tries to start with highmem_start, so we shouldn't mess
up with DMA32. In this case the compaction will help to free cma
areas, resulting in better cma allocation success rates.

Why wouldn't you use memblock_set_bottom_up() around the allocations in
CMA, e.g.

	bool bottom_up = memblock_bottom_up();

	if (!bottom_up)
		memblock_set_bottom_up(true);

	/* allocate memory */

	memblock_set_bottom_up(bottom_up);

Hi Mike!

Wouldn't it open a possibility for a race? If somebody else is doing an allocation
in parallel, their allocation could become affected.

This happens a lot earlier than we can have concurrency, so there is no

Sorry, I've missed this previously, but cma actually requires that
allocation will be below high_memory, so simply forcing memblock to
bottom_up mode will mess with DMA32.
