{
alloc_contig_range will fail if it ever sees a HugeTLB page within the range we are trying to allocate, even when that page is free and can be easily reallocated. This has proved to be problematic for some users of alloc_contic_range, e.g: CMA and virtio-mem, where those would fail the call even when those pages lay in ZONE_MOVABLE and are free. We can do better by trying to replace such page. Free hugepages are tricky to handle so as to no userspace application notices disruption, we need to replace the current free hugepage with a new one. In order to do that, a new function called alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page is introduced. This function will first try to get a new fresh hugepage, and if it succeeds, it will replace the old one in the free hugepage pool. The free page replacement is done under hugetlb_lock, so no external users of hugetlb will notice the change. To allocate the new huge page, we use alloc_buddy_huge_page(), so we do not have to deal with any counters, and prep_new_huge_page() is not called. This is valulable because in case we need to free the new page, we only need to call __free_pages(). Once we know that the page to be replaced is a genuine 0-refcounted huge page, we remove the old page from the freelist by remove_hugetlb_page(). Then, we can call __prep_new_huge_page() and __prep_account_new_huge_page() for the new huge page to properly initialize it and increment the hstate->nr_huge_pages counter (previously decremented by remove_hugetlb_page()). Once done, the page is enqueued by enqueue_huge_page() and it is ready to be used. There is one tricky case when page's refcount is 0 because it is in the process of being released. A missing PageHugeFreed bit will tell us that freeing is in flight so we retry after dropping the hugetlb_lock. The race window should be small and the next retry should make a forward progress. E.g: CPU0 CPU1 free_huge_page() isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page PageHuge() == T alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page alloc_buddy_huge_page() spin_lock_irq(hugetlb_lock) // PageHuge() && !PageHugeFreed && // !PageCount() spin_unlock_irq(hugetlb_lock) spin_lock_irq(hugetlb_lock) 1) update_and_free_page PageHuge() == F __free_pages() 2) enqueue_huge_page SetPageHugeFreed() spin_unlock_irq(&hugetlb_lock) spin_lock_irq(hugetlb_lock) 1) PageHuge() == F (freed by case#1 from CPU0) 2) PageHuge() == T PageHugeFreed() == T - proceed with replacing the page In the case above we retry as the window race is quite small and we have high chances to succeed next time. With regard to the allocation, we restrict it to the node the page belongs to with __GFP_THISNODE, meaning we do not fallback on other node's zones. Note that gigantic hugetlb pages are fenced off since there is a cyclic dependency between them and alloc_contig_range.
