cma alloc may fail when we doing cma alloc/free test on kernel 5.10/5.15. We found that the next memory cannot be migrated because of the alloc of fs as next backtrace: __alloc_pages_nodemask pagecache_get_page grow_dev_page __getblk_gfp ext4_sb_breadahead_unmovable __ext4_get_inode_loc __ext4_iget ext4_lookup __lookup_slow walk_component path_lookupat filename_lookup vfs_statx This kind of unmovable memory is not placed in the cma buffer when kernel memory alloc but is migrated in by kcompactd when the kernel migration. It will cause memory can't be migrate when cma alloc. Add check mechanism in the compaction_alloc() where kcompaced alloc for memory. Will return NULL and give up this memory migration if the allocated memory is in the cma buffer and the memory is unmovable.
