The page is likely as large as a pageblock so it's unlikely to create much fragmentation even if the __GFP_MOVABLE is set. Said that I guess it would be more correct if __GFP_MOVABLE was clear, like (GFP_TRANSHUGE | __GFP_ZERO) & ~__GFP_MOVABLE because this page isn't really movable (it's only reclaimable). The xchg vs xchgcmp locking also looks good. Reviewed-by: Andrea Arcangeli <redacted> Thanks, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
