Zsmalloc is ready for page migration so zram can use __GFP_MOVABLE from now on. I did test to see how it helps to make higher order pages. Test scenario is as follows. KVM guest, 1G memory, ext4 formated zram block device, for i in `seq 1 8`; do dd if=/dev/vda1 of=mnt/test$i.txt bs=128M count=1 & done wait `pidof dd` for i in `seq 1 2 8`; do rm -rf mnt/test$i.txt done fstrim -v mnt echo "init" cat /proc/buddyinfo echo "compaction" echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory cat /proc/buddyinfo old: init Node 0, zone DMA 208 120 51 41 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 16380 13777 9184 3805 789 54 3 0 0 0 0 compaction Node 0, zone DMA 132 82 40 39 16 2 1 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 5219 5526 4969 3455 1831 677 139 15 0 0 0 new: init Node 0, zone DMA 379 115 97 19 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 18891 16774 10862 3947 637 21 0 0 0 0 0 compaction 1 Node 0, zone DMA 214 66 87 29 10 3 0 0 0 0 0 Node 0, zone DMA32 1612 3139 3154 2469 1745 990 384 94 7 0 0 As you can see, compaction made so many high-order pages. Yay!
