[PATCH v4 8/9] mm/page_alloc: make alloc_contig_pages DMB aware

From: Doug Berger
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 19:41:09 EST


Designated Movable Blocks are skipped when attempting to allocate
contiguous pages. Doing per page validation across all spanned
pages within a zone can be extra inefficient when Designated
Movable Blocks create large overlaps between zones. Use
dmb_intersects() within pfn_range_valid_contig as an early check
to signal the range is not valid.

The zone_movable_pfn array which represents the start of non-
overlapped ZONE_MOVABLE on the node is now preserved to be used
at runtime to skip over any DMB-only portion of the zone.
