mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.10-rc1 commit 55612e80e722ac554cc5e80df05555b4f8d40c37 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...
--------------------------------
There are three freeing paths that read the page's migratetype optimistically before grabbing the zone lock. When this races with block stealing, those pages go on the wrong freelist.
The paths in question are: - when freeing >costly orders that aren't THP - when freeing pages to the buddy upon pcp lock contention - when freeing pages that are isolated - when freeing pages initially during boot - when freeing the remainder in alloc_pages_exact() - when "accepting" unaccepted VM host memory before first use - when freeing pages during unpoisoning
None of these are so hot that they would need this optimization at the cost of hampering defrag efforts. Especially when contrasted with the fact that the most common buddy freeing path - free_pcppages_bulk - is checking the migratetype under the zone->lock just fine.
In addition, isolated pages need to look up the migratetype under the lock anyway, which adds branches to the locked section, and results in a double lookup when the pages are in fact isolated.
Move the lookups into the lock.
