[PATCH v8 2/4] mm: Update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from CMA region

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Wed Feb 27 2019 - 09:48:17 EST


This patch updates get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated out
of CMA region. This makes sure that we don't keep non-movable pages (due to page
reference count) in the CMA area.

This will be used by ppc64 in a later patch to avoid pinning pages in the CMA
region. ppc64 uses CMA region for allocation of the hardware page table (hash page
table) and not able to migrate pages out of CMA region results in page table
allocation failures.

One case where we hit this easy is when a guest using a VFIO passthrough device.
VFIO locks all the guest's memory and if the guest memory is backed by CMA
region, it becomes unmovable resulting in fragmenting the CMA and possibly
preventing other guests from allocation a large enough hash page table.

NOTE: We allocate the new page without using __GFP_THISNODE
