Non-LRU page migration
|
||||
======================
|
||||
movable_ops page migration
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Although migration originally aimed for reducing the latency of memory
|
||||
accesses for NUMA, compaction also uses migration to create high-order
|
||||
pages. For compaction purposes, it is also useful to be able to move
|
||||
non-LRU pages, such as zsmalloc and virtio-balloon pages.
|
||||
Selected typed, non-folio pages (e.g., pages inflated in a memory balloon,
|
||||
zsmalloc pages) can be migrated using the movable_ops migration framework.
|
||||
|
||||
If a driver wants to make its pages movable, it should define a struct
|
||||
movable_operations. It then needs to call __SetPageMovable() on each
|
||||
page that it may be able to move. This uses the ``page->mapping`` field,
|
||||
so this field is not available for the driver to use for other purposes.
|
||||
The "struct movable_operations" provide callbacks specific to a page type
|
||||
for isolating, migrating and un-isolating (putback) these pages.
|
||||
|
||||
Once a page is indicated as having movable_ops, that condition must not
|
||||
change until the page was freed back to the buddy. This includes not
|
||||
changing/clearing the page type and not changing/clearing the
|
||||
PG_movable_ops page flag.
|
||||
|
||||
Arbitrary drivers cannot currently make use of this framework, as it
|
||||
requires:
|
||||
|
||||
(a) a page type
|
||||
(b) indicating them as possibly having movable_ops in page_has_movable_ops()
|
||||
based on the page type
|
||||
(c) returning the movable_ops from page_movable_ops() based on the page
|
||||
type
|
||||
(d) not reusing the PG_movable_ops and PG_movable_ops_isolated page flags
|
||||
for other purposes
|
||||
|
||||
For example, balloon drivers can make use of this framework through the
|
||||
balloon-compaction infrastructure residing in the core kernel.
