From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>
Before last commit, memory compaction only migrates order-0 folios and
skips >0 order folios. Last commit splits all >0 order folios during
compaction. This commit migrates >0 order folios during compaction by
keeping isolated free pages at their original size without splitting them
into order-0 pages and using them directly during migration process.
What is different from the prior implementation:
1. All isolated free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDERS array of page
lists, where each page list stores free pages in the same order.
2. All free pages are not post_alloc_hook() processed nor buddy pages,
although their orders are stored in first page's private like buddy
pages.
3. During migration, in new page allocation time (i.e., in
compaction_alloc()), free pages are then processed by post_alloc_hook().
When migration fails and a new page is returned (i.e., in
compaction_free()), free pages are restored by reversing the
post_alloc_hook() operations using newly added
free_pages_prepare_fpi_none().
Step 3 is done for a latter optimization that splitting and/or merging free
pages during compaction becomes easier.
Note: without splitting free pages, compaction can end prematurely due to
migration will return -ENOMEM even if there is free pages. This happens
when no order-0 free page exist and compaction_alloc() return NULL.
