The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] will also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min watermark of ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE. __GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable zone pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small value in __setup_per_zone_wmarks(). On my testing machine with 16GB of memory (transparent hugepage is turned off by default, and movablecore=12G is configured) The following is a comparative test data of watermark_min no patch add patch ZONE_DMA 1 8 ZONE_DMA32 151 709 ZONE_NORMAL 233 1113 ZONE_MOVABLE 1434 128 min_free_kbytes 7288 7326 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230625031656.23941-1-liuq131@chinatelecom.cn Signed-off-by: liuq <liuq131@chinatelecom.cn> Reviewed-by: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
