As noted by Vlastimil Babka, the migratetype might be wrong if a PCP was not locked so check the migrate type early. Similarly the !pcp check is generally unlikely so explicitly tagging it makes sense. This is a fix for the mm-unstable patch mm-page_alloc-leave-irqs-enabled-for-per-cpu-page-allocations.patch Reported-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> --- mm/page_alloc.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/page_alloc.c b/mm/page_alloc.c index 323fec05c4c6..445066617204 100644 --- a/mm/page_alloc.c +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c @@ -3516,6 +3516,7 @@ void free_unref_page_list(struct list_head *list) struct zone *zone = page_zone(page); list_del(&page->lru); + migratetype = get_pcppage_migratetype(page); /* Different zone, different pcp lock. */ if (zone != locked_zone) { @@ -3530,7 +3531,7 @@ void free_unref_page_list(struct list_head *list) */ pcp_trylock_prepare(UP_flags); pcp = pcp_spin_trylock(zone->per_cpu_pageset); - if (!pcp) { + if (unlikely(!pcp)) { pcp_trylock_finish(UP_flags); free_one_page(zone, page, page_to_pfn(page), 0, migratetype, FPI_NONE); @@ -3545,7 +3546,6 @@ void free_unref_page_list(struct list_head *list) * Non-isolated types over MIGRATE_PCPTYPES get added * to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcp list. */ - migratetype = get_pcppage_migratetype(page); if (unlikely(migratetype >= MIGRATE_PCPTYPES)) migratetype = MIGRATE_MOVABLE; -- 2.35.3
