[PATCHv3] mm/gup: speed up check_and_migrate_cma_pages() on huge page

From: Pingfan Liu
Date: Tue Jun 25 2019 - 10:13:47 EST


Both hugetlb and thp locate on the same migration type of pageblock, since
they are allocated from a free_list[]. Based on this fact, it is enough to
check on a single subpage to decide the migration type of the whole huge
page. By this way, it saves (2M/4K - 1) times loop for pmd_huge on x86,
similar on other archs.

Furthermore, when executing isolate_huge_page(), it avoid taking global
hugetlb_lock many times, and meanless remove/add to the local link list
cma_page_list.
