mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction
commit 35979ef3393110ff3c12c6b94552208d3bdf1a36 upstream.
Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.
Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.
This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.
