mm/page_alloc: Separate THP PCP into movable and non-movable categories
Since commit 5d0a661d808f ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not acceptable. If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual machine with device passthrough will get stuck. During starting the virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM, ...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area, pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless. Call trace: pin_user_pages_remote --__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function ----_get_user_pages_locked ----check_and_migrate_movable_pages ------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages --------alloc_migration_target This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself. For example, when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc() or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's users can retrieve that contigous memory. Currently, CMA's memory is occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them. As a result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail. To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages. THP will have 2 PCP lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list is used by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE, and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.
