Subject: mm/compaction: optimize >0 order folio compaction with free page split.
Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2024 11:15:54 -0500
During migration in a memory compaction, free pages are placed in an array
of page lists based on their order. But the desired free page order
(i.e., the order of a source page) might not be always present, thus
leading to migration failures and premature compaction termination. Split
a high order free pages when source migration page has a lower order to
increase migration successful rate.
Note: merging free pages when a migration fails and a lower order free
page is returned via compaction_free() is possible, but there is too much
work. Since the free pages are not buddy pages, it is hard to identify
these free pages using existing PFN-based page merging algorithm.
