/* * include/linux/balloon_compaction.h * * Common interface definitions for making balloon pages movable by compaction. * * Despite being perfectly possible to perform ballooned pages migration, they * make a special corner case to compaction scans because balloon pages are not * enlisted at any LRU list like the other pages we do compact / migrate. * * As the page isolation scanning step a compaction thread does is a lockless * procedure (from a page standpoint), it might bring some racy situations while * performing balloon page compaction. In order to sort out these racy scenarios * and safely perform balloon's page compaction and migration we must, always, * ensure following these three simple rules: * * i. when updating a balloon's page ->mapping element, strictly do it under * the following lock order, independently of the far superior * locking scheme (lru_lock, balloon_lock): * +-page_lock(page); * +--spin_lock_irq(&b_dev_info->pages_lock); * ... page->mapping updates here ... * * ii. before isolating or dequeueing a balloon page from the balloon device * pages list, the page reference counter must be raised by one and the * extra refcount must be dropped when the page is enqueued back into * the balloon device page list, thus a balloon page keeps its reference * counter raised only while it is under our special handling; * * iii. after the lockless scan step have selected a potential balloon page for * isolation, re-test the page->mapping flags and the page ref counter * under the proper page lock, to ensure isolating a valid balloon page * (not yet isolated, nor under release procedure) * * The functions provided by this interface are placed to help on coping with * the aforementioned balloon page corner case, as well as to ensure the simple * set of exposed rules are satisfied while we are dealing with balloon pages * compaction / migration. * * Copyright (C) 2012, Red Hat, Inc.
