From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.10-rc1 commit e6cf9e1c4cde8a53385423ecb8ca581097f42e02 category: performance bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IBC4T0 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- The buddy allocator coalesces compatible blocks during freeing, but it doesn't update the types of the subblocks to match. When an allocation later breaks the chunk down again, its pieces will be put on freelists of the wrong type. This encourages incompatible page mixing (ask for one type, get another), and thus long-term fragmentation. Update the subblocks when merging a larger chunk, such that a later expand() will maintain freelist type hygiene.
