I think it'd be nice to have a similar table for allocation patterns
which aren't ideal for the original allocator. The biggest goal is
avoiding cases where the allocator collapses and just glancing at the
table doesn't seem very compelling.

Given that percpu allocator can align only upto a page, the
restriction makes sense to me. I'm kinda curious whether PAGE_SIZE
blocks is optimal tho. Why did you pick PAGE_SIZE?

Ah, so this is actually the same as before 3 + 2, order 5. Can you
please note the explicit number in the comment?

and these numbers too. I can't tell how these numbers would map.
Also, any chance we can have these numbers in a more intuitive unit?

Wouldn't sth like @map_bits more intuitive than @bit_size? We can
just use @bits too.

IIUC, this is trying to handle multi-page block size, right?

I am really not a big fan of the above implementation. All it wants
to do is calculating the biggest free span and count unpopulated pages
in the chunk. There gotta be a more readable way to implement this.
For example, would it be possible to implement span iterator over a
chunk which walks free spans of the chunk so that the above function
can do something similar to the following?
for_each_free_span(blah blah) {
nr_pop_free += count populated whole pages in the span;
update contig hint;
}
It's a span iteration problem. When abstracted properly, it shouldn't
be too difficult to follow.

It's a lot simpler here but this too might look simpler with an
appropriate interation abstraction.

This isn't by no means a hard rule but it's often easier on the eyes
to have a blank line when code and comment are packed like this.

Hmm... why do we need is_left/right_free? Can't we reset them to zero
at the top and update directly during the loop?

So, if you do the above with inclusive range, it becomes
s_index = pcpu_off_to_block_index(start_bit);
e_index = pcpu_off_to_block_index(end_bit - 1);
s_off = pcpu_off_to_block_off(start_bit);
e_off = pcpu_off_to_block_off(end_bit - 1) + 1;
and you can just comment that you're using inclusive range so that the
e_index always points to the last block in the range. Wouldn't that
be easier? People do use inclusive ranges for these sorts of
calculations.

How about something like the following? It's kinda weird to have an

for other places too.

Do we ever not update chunk hint when block hint indicates that it's
necessary? If not, maybe just call it from the previous function?

Didn't we add this field in an earlier patch? Do the above changes
belong in this patch?

Shouldn't the above have happened earlier when MIN_ALLOC_SIZE was
introduced?

I get that we wanna be using bits inside the area allocator proper but
can we keep things outside in bytes? These things don't really have
anything to do with what granularity the area allocator is operating
at.

I *think* that quite a bit of the above can be moved into a separate
patch.
Thanks a lot!
