Cced some guys. Maybe many people of them have to attend KS. So I hope SAMSUNG guys review this. Maybe they can't test this since ARM doesn't support movable zone now. (I will look into this). As Kame said, please, review this patch whether this patch have enough interface and meet your requirement. I think this can't meet _all_ of your requirements(ex, latency and making sure getting big contiguous memory) but I believe it can meet NOT CRITICAL many cases, I guess. > > Now interface is: > > > struct page *__alloc_contig_pages(unsigned long base, unsigned long end, > unsigned long nr_pages, int align_order, > int node, gfp_t gfpflag, nodemask_t *mask) > > * @base: the lowest pfn which caller wants. > * @end: the highest pfn which caller wants. > * @nr_pages: the length of a chunk of pages to be allocated. > * @align_order: alignment of start address of returned chunk in order. > * Returned' page's order will be aligned to (1 << align_order).If smaller > * than MAX_ORDER, it's raised to MAX_ORDER. > * @node: allocate near memory to the node, If -1, current node is used
