Subject: [PATCH 07/25] mm, migrate: Immediately fail migration of a page with no migration handler
Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2019 12:49:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190104125011.16071-8-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190104125011.16071-1-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Pages with no migration handler use a fallback handler which sometimes
works and sometimes persistently retries. A historical example was blockdev
pages but there are others such as odd refcounting when page->private
is used. These are retried multiple times which is wasteful during
compaction so this patch will fail migration faster unless the caller
specifies MIGRATE_SYNC.
This is not expected to help THP allocation success rates but it did
reduce latencies very slightly in some cases.

The 2-socket results are not materially different. Scan rates are similar
as expected.
