[PATCH V3 1/2] mm: hotplug: implement non-movable version of get_user_pages() called get_user_pages_non_movable()

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

 



get_user_pages() always tries to allocate pages from movable zone, which is not
 reliable to memory hotremove framework in some case.

This patch introduces a new library function called get_user_pages_non_movable()
 to pin pages only from zone non-movable in memory.
It's a wrapper of get_user_pages() but it makes sure that all pages come from
non-movable zone via additional page migration. But if migration fails it
will at least keep the base functionality of get_user_pages().
