[RFC PATCH v3 3/8] mm: migrate: allocate the right size of non hugetlb or THP compound pages.

From: Zi Yan
Date: Wed Jan 05 2022 - 16:48:48 EST


From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

alloc_migration_target() is used by alloc_contig_range() and non-LRU
movable compound pages can be migrated. Current code does not allocate the
right page size for such pages. Check THP precisely using
is_transparent_huge() and add allocation support for non-LRU compound
pages.
