Hello Gioh, I wanted to have such feature for zsmalloc. Thanks for the work.

How about "bool is_migratable(...)"? Another question: Why should they support all fucntions of migrate(ie, migratepage, isolatepage, putbackpage). I mean currently inode of regular file supports only migratepage.

Do you want to support this feature for only "non-LRU pages"? Hmm, your term for functions was too generic so I got confused. At least, it needs prefix like "special_xxx" so that we could classify regular inode migrate and special driver migrate. Otherwise, we could make logic more general so every address_space want to migrate their page has all of migrate functions(ie, migrate,isolate,putback) and we support default functions so addresss_space of regular inode will have default functions while special driver overrides it by own functions. With it, compact/migrate just calls registered function of each subsystem and pass many role to them. > + if (page->mapping->a_ops->isolatepage(page)) > goto isolate_success; > - } > - } > continue; > } > > diff --git a/mm/migrate.c b/mm/migrate.c > index 85e0426..37cb366 100644 > --- a/mm/migrate.c > +++ b/mm/migrate.c > @@ -71,6 +71,12 @@ int migrate_prep_local(void) > return 0; > } > > +static bool isolated_migratable_page(struct page *page) > +{ > + return page_mapped(page) == 0 && > + mapping_migratable(page->mapping); > +} Why does we need to check like this? Whether isolate was successful or not depends on the driver.

With it, we may remove some of branch in migrate/compact.c to separate special driver and regular address_space.
