mm/compaction: fix 'limit' in fast_isolate_freepages
Because of 'min(1, ...)', fast_isolate_freepages set 'limit' to 0 or 1. This takes away the opportunities of find candinate pages. So, by making enough scans available, increases the probability of finding the appropriate freepage. Tested it on the thpscale and the results are as follows. 5.12.0 5.12.0 valnilla patched Amean fault-both-1 598.15 ( 0.00%) 592.56 ( 0.93%) Amean fault-both-3 1494.47 ( 0.00%) 1514.35 ( -1.33%) Amean fault-both-5 2519.48 ( 0.00%) 2471.76 ( 1.89%) Amean fault-both-7 3173.85 ( 0.00%) 3079.19 ( 2.98%) Amean fault-both-12 8063.83 ( 0.00%) 7858.29 ( 2.55%) Amean fault-both-18 8781.20 ( 0.00%) 7827.70 * 10.86%* Amean fault-both-24 12576.44 ( 0.00%) 12250.20 ( 2.59%) Amean fault-both-30 18503.27 ( 0.00%) 17528.11 * 5.27%* Amean fault-both-32 16133.69 ( 0.00%) 13874.24 * 14.00%* 5.12.0 5.12.0 vanilla patched Ops Compaction migrate scanned 6547133.00 5963901.00 Ops Compaction free scanned 32452453.00 26609101.00 5.12 5.12 vanilla patched Duration User 27.99 28.84 Duration System 244.08 236.76 Duration Elapsed 78.27 78.38 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210626082443.22547-1-vvghjk1234@gmail.com Fixes: 5a811889de10f ("mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration target") Signed-off-by: Wonhyuk Yang <vvghjk1234@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@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.
