new_non_cma_page() in gup.c requires to allocate the new page that is not on the CMA area. new_non_cma_page() implements it by using allocation scope APIs. However, there is a work-around for hugetlb. Normal hugetlb page allocation API for migration is alloc_huge_page_nodemask(). It consists of two steps. First is dequeing from the pool. Second is, if there is no available page on the queue, allocating by using the page allocator. new_non_cma_page() can't use this API since first step (deque) isn't aware of scope API to exclude CMA area. So, new_non_cma_page() exports hugetlb internal function for the second step, alloc_migrate_huge_page(), to global scope and uses it directly. This is suboptimal since hugetlb pages on the queue cannot be utilized. This patch tries to fix this situation by making the deque function on hugetlb CMA aware. In the deque function, CMA memory is skipped if PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA flag is found.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
