Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/4] mm: compaction: parameterize fragmentation score by order
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 08:14:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001001412.3837085-2-zhangbo56@xiaomi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001001412.3837085-1-zhangbo56@xiaomi.com>
The proactive compaction fragmentation score functions are hardwired to
COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER (typically order-9 for 2MB THP). To later allow
proactive compaction to target other orders (e.g. smaller mTHP orders),
generalize these helpers to take an explicit order argument:
- fragmentation_score_zone(zone, order)
- fragmentation_score_zone_weighted(zone, order)
- fragmentation_score_node(pgdat, order)
All callers pass COMPACTION_HPAGE_ORDER, so this patch is a pure
refactor with no functional change.
