Changelog --------- v4 - Address page migration comments. New patch: mm/gup: limit number of gup migration failures, honor failures Implements the limiting number of retries for migration failures, and also check for isolation failures. Added a test case into gup_test to verify that pages never long-term pinned in a movable zone, and also added tests to fault both in kernel and in userland. v3 - Merged with linux-next, which contains clean-up patch from Jason, therefore this series is reduced by two patches which did the same thing. v2 - Addressed all review comments - Added Reviewed-by's. - Renamed PF_MEMALLOC_NOMOVABLE to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN - Added is_pinnable_page() to check if page can be longterm pinned - Fixed gup fast path by checking is_in_pinnable_zone() - rename cma_page_list to movable_page_list - add a admin-guide note about handling pinned pages in ZONE_MOVABLE, updated caveat about pinned pages from linux/mmzone.h - Move current_gfp_context() to fast-path --------- When page is pinned it cannot be moved and its physical address stays the same until pages is unpinned. This is useful functionality to allows userland to implementation DMA access. For example, it is used by vfio in vfio_pin_pages(). However, this functionality breaks memory hotplug/hotremove assumptions that pages in ZONE_MOVABLE can always be migrated. This patch series fixes this issue by forcing new allocations during page pinning to omit ZONE_MOVABLE, and also to migrate any existing pages from ZONE_MOVABLE during pinning. It uses the same scheme logic that is currently used by CMA, and extends the functionality for all allocations. For more information read the discussion [1] about this problem.
