[PATCH v2] mm: fix is_pinnable_page against on cma page

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Thu May 05 2022 - 02:44:40 EST


Pages on CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA
so current is_pinnable_page could miss CMA pages which has MIGRATE_
ISOLATE. It ends up putting CMA pages longterm pinning possible on
pin_user_pages APIs so CMA allocation fails.

The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race
using zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the
page is on CMA area or not rather than exact type. Thus, we don't
need zone->lock but just checks the migratype in either of
(MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA).

Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause
rejecting of pinning the page on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblock even
thouth it's neither CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily
unmovable. However, the migration failure is general issue, not
only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also
transient state like other temporal refcount holding of pages.
