Title:
Pull-request to address bug in mm/page_alloc.c
Status in linux-nvidia-6.5 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] will
also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min watermark of
ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE.
__GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable zone
pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small value in
__setup_per_zone_wmarks().
On my testing machine with 16GB of memory (transparent hugepage is turned
off by default, and movablecore=12G is configured) The following is a
comparative test data of watermark_min
no patch add patch
ZONE_DMA 1 8
ZONE_DMA32 151 709
ZONE_NORMAL 233 1113
ZONE_MOVABLE 1434 128
min_free_kbytes 7288 7326
