[RFC PATCH 3/3] mm, page_alloc: prevent merge freepages between highatomic and others

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wenwei Tao <ww.tao0320@xxxxxxxxx>

We might not want other migrate types pin highatomic pageblock
away since it's reserved for high order use. And also we might
not want reserve high atomic pages out of limit, we can add
check in __free_one_page but this might be costly, so just stop
the merging.
