Subject: mm/page_alloc: forward the gfp flags from alloc_contig_range() to post_alloc_hook()
Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2024 10:47:31 +0100
In the __GFP_COMP case, we already pass the gfp_flags to
prep_new_page()->post_alloc_hook(). However, in the !__GFP_COMP case, we
essentially pass only hardcoded __GFP_MOVABLE to post_alloc_hook(),
preventing some action modifiers from being effective..
Let's pass our now properly adjusted gfp flags there as well.
This way, we can now support __GFP_ZERO for alloc_contig_*().
As a side effect, we now also support __GFP_SKIP_ZERO and__GFP_ZEROTAGS;
but we'll keep the more special stuff (KASAN, NOLOCKDEP) disabled for now.
It's worth noting that with __GFP_ZERO, we might unnecessarily zero pages
when we have to release part of our range using free_contig_range() again.
This can be optimized in the future, if ever required; the caller we'll
be converting (powernv/memtrace) next won't trigger this.
