From be1aa03b973c7dcdc576f3503f7a60429825c35d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:37:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction: change the timing to check to drop the spinlock It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating migratepage. 1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages. 2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop the spinlock. 3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock. I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at this time, locked variable would be false.
