When I see the pagetypeinfo shows lots of CMA pages available and non-movable were very less and thus nonmovable allocation were failing. Okay. CMA pages cannot be used for nonmovable memory, so it can fail in above case. > However I noticed the failure was little delayed. It is good sign. I guess that there is movable/CMA ratio problem. My patchset uses free CMA pages in certain ratio to free movable page consumption. If your system doesn't use movable page sufficiently, free CMA pages cannot be used fully. Could you test with following workaround? + if (normal > cma) { + zone->max_try_normal = pageblock_nr_pages; + zone->max_try_cma = pageblock_nr_pages; + } else { + zone->max_try_normal = pageblock_nr_pages; + zone->max_try_cma = pageblock_nr_pages; + } Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
