Patch series "mm, hugetlb: allow proper node fallback dequeue". While working on a hugetlb migration issue addressed in a separate patchset[1] I have noticed that the hugetlb allocations from the preallocated pool are quite subotimal. [1] //lkml.kernel.org/r/20170608074553.22152-1-mhocko@kernel.org There is no fallback mechanism implemented and no notion of preferred node. I have tried to work around it but Vlastimil was right to push back for a more robust solution. It seems that such a solution is to reuse zonelist approach we use for the page alloctor. This series has 3 patches. The first one tries to make hugetlb allocation layers more clear. The second one implements the zonelist hugetlb pool allocation and introduces a preferred node semantic which is used by the migration callbacks. The last patch is a clean up. This patch (of 3): Hugetlb allocation path for fresh huge pages is unnecessarily complex and it mixes different interfaces between layers. __alloc_buddy_huge_page is the central place to perform a new allocation. It checks for the hugetlb overcommit and then relies on __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page to invoke the page allocator. This is all good except that __alloc_buddy_huge_page pushes vma and address down the callchain and so __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page has to deal with two different allocation modes - one for memory policy and other node specific (or to make it more obscure node non-specific) requests. This just screams for a reorganization. This patch pulls out all the vma specific handling up to __alloc_buddy_huge_page_with_mpol where it belongs. __alloc_buddy_huge_page will get nodemask argument and __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page will become a trivial wrapper over the page allocator. In short: __alloc_buddy_huge_page_with_mpol - memory policy handling __alloc_buddy_huge_page - overcommit handling and accounting __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page - page allocator layer Also note that __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page and its cpuset retry loop is not really needed because the page allocator already handles the cpusets update. Finally __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page had a special case for node specific allocations (when no policy is applied and there is a node given). This has relied on __GFP_THISNODE to not fallback to a different node. alloc_huge_page_node is the only caller which relies on this behavior so move the __GFP_THISNODE there. Not only does this remove quite some code it also should make those layers easier to follow and clear wrt responsibilities.
