Vlastimil Babka c3486f5376 mm, compaction: simplify contended compaction handling ... Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched(). Since 1f9efdef4f ("mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the __alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken for khugepaged allocations. After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot. However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP page fault allocations. There are several reasons why this can be done now: - with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits. - even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the contention and back off, if the contention persists - there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160721073614.24395-9-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>		2016-07-28 16:07:41 -07:00
