|

Fragmentation avoidance in the kernel works by grouping pages of different
|
||||
migrate types into the same contiguous regions of memory called page blocks.
|
||||
A page block is typically the size of the default hugepage size e.g. 2MB on
|
||||
X86-64. By keeping pages grouped based on their ability to move, the kernel
|
||||
can reclaim pages within a page block to satisfy a high-order allocation.
|
||||
|
||||
The pagetypinfo begins with information on the size of a page block. It
|
||||
then gives the same type of information as buddyinfo except broken down
|
||||
by migrate-type and finishes with details on how many page blocks of each
|
||||
type exist.
|
||||
|
||||
If min_free_kbytes has been tuned correctly (recommendations made by hugeadm
|
||||
from libhugetlbfs http://sourceforge.net/projects/libhugetlbfs/), one can
|
||||
make an estimate of the likely number of huge pages that can be allocated
|
||||
at a given point in time. All the "Movable" blocks should be allocatable
|
||||
unless memory has been mlock()'d. Some of the Reclaimable blocks should
|
||||
also be allocatable although a lot of filesystem metadata may have to be
|
||||
reclaimed to achieve this.
