From 694d6b99923eb05a8fd188be44e26077d19f0e21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harry Yoo harry.yoo@oracle.com Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2025 19:30:53 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: do not pass __GFP_MOVABLE if CONFIG_COMPACTION=n

Commit 48b4800a1c6a ("zsmalloc: page migration support") added support for migrating zsmalloc pages using the movable_operations migration framework. However, the commit did not take into account that zsmalloc supports migration only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled. Tracing shows that zsmalloc was still passing the __GFP_MOVABLE flag even when compaction is not supported.

This can result in unmovable pages being allocated from movable page blocks (even without stealing page blocks), ZONE_MOVABLE and CMA area.

Possible user visible effects: - Some ZONE_MOVABLE memory can be not actually movable - CMA allocation can fail because of this - Increased memory fragmentation due to ignoring the page mobility grouping feature I'm not really sure who uses kernels without compaction support, though :(

To fix this, clear the __GFP_MOVABLE flag when !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION).
