[PATCH v11 3/6] mm: make alloc_contig_range work at pageblock granularity

From: Zi Yan
Date: Mon Apr 25 2022 - 10:31:55 EST


From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

alloc_contig_range() worked at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES granularity to avoid
merging pageblocks with different migratetypes. It might unnecessarily
convert extra pageblocks at the beginning and at the end of the range.
Change alloc_contig_range() to work at pageblock granularity.

Special handling is needed for free pages and in-use pages across the
boundaries of the range specified by alloc_contig_range(). Because these
partially isolated pages causes free page accounting issues. The free
pages will be split and freed into separate migratetype lists; the
in-use pages will be migrated then the freed pages will be handled in
the aforementioned way.
