CMA should not care about the It boots without Thierry's cmatest module but then fails on CMA allocation attempt (I used out-of-tree /dev/cma_test interface to generate CMA allocation request from user-space). > PG_migrate_skip hint being set because it should always ignore it in > alloc_contig_range() due to cc->ignore_skip_hint.

I just compared CONFIG_COMPACTION=n and =y cases initially, figured out the difference and did the change. However on a closer look it seems that {get,clear,set}_pageblock_skip() use incorrect bit ranges (please compare to bit ranges used by {get,set}_pageblock_flags() used for migration types) and can overwrite pageblock migratetype of the next pageblock in the bitmap (I wonder how could this code ever worked before?). > > Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz > > Signed-off-by: Kyungmin Park > > --- > > mm/compaction.c | 3 ++- > > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > Index: b/mm/compaction.c > > =================================================================== > > --- a/mm/compaction.c 2012-10-08 18:10:53.491679716 +0200 > > +++ b/mm/compaction.c 2012-10-08 18:11:33.615679713 +0200 > > @@ -117,7 +117,8 @@ static void update_pageblock_skip(struct > > bool migrate_scanner) > > { > > struct zone *zone = cc->zone; > > - if (!page) > > + > > + if (!page || cc->ignore_skip_hint) > > return; > > > > if (!nr_isolated) { The patch below also fixes the issue for me: From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: fix bit ranges in {get,clear,set}_pageblock_skip() {get,clear,set}_pageblock_skip() use incorrect bit ranges (please compare to bit ranges used by {get,set}_pageblock_flags() used for migration types) and can overwrite pageblock migratetype of the next pageblock in the bitmap.
