From 9ecc5fc50a9c75b0af252913163a9f1ac4206b17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 15 May 2023 12:33:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: only force pageblock scan completion when skip hints are obeyed fast_find_migrateblock relies on skip hints to avoid rescanning a recently selected pageblock but compact_zone() only forces the pageblock scan completion to set the skip hint if in direct compaction. While this prevents direct compaction repeatedly scanning a subset of blocks due to fast_find_migrateblock(), it does not prevent proactive compaction, node compaction and kcompactd encountering the same problem described in commit cfccd2e63e7e ("mm, compaction: finish pageblocks on complete migration failure"). Force the scan completion of a pageblock to set the skip hint if skip hints are obeyed to prevent fast_find_migrateblock() repeatedly selecting a subset of pageblocks.
