From 424f6c4818bbf1b8ccf58aa012ecc19c0bb9b446 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas Stach Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 15:18:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: alloc_contig: re-allow CMA to compact FS pages Commit 73e64c51afc5 ("mm, compaction: allow compaction for GFP_NOFS requests") changed compation to skip FS pages if not explicitly allowed to touch them, but missed to update the CMA compact_control. This leads to a very high isolation failure rate, crippling performance of CMA even on a lightly loaded system. Re-allow CMA to compact FS pages by setting the correct GFP flags, restoring CMA behavior and performance to the kernel 4.9 level.
