[PATCH v3 1/3] mm/gup: restrict CMA region by using allocation scope API

From: js1304
Date: Fri Jul 31 2020 - 03:35:32 EST


From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>

We have well defined scope API to exclude CMA region.
Use it rather than manipulating gfp_mask manually. With this change,
we can now restore __GFP_MOVABLE for gfp_mask like as usual migration
target allocation. It would result in that the ZONE_MOVABLE is also
searched by page allocator. For hugetlb, gfp_mask is redefined since
it has a regular allocation mask filter for migration target.
__GPF_NOWARN is added to hugetlb gfp_mask filter since a new user for
gfp_mask filter, gup, want to be silent when allocation fails.

Note that this can be considered as a fix for the commit 9a4e9f3b2d73
("mm: update get_user_pages_longterm to migrate pages allocated from
CMA region"). However, "Fixes" tag isn't added here since it is just
suboptimal but it doesn't cause any problem.
