There was a regression report for "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA
area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE" [1] and I think that it is related to
this problem. CMA patchset makes the system use one more zone
(ZONE_MOVABLE) and then increases min_free_kbytes. It reduces usable
memory and it could cause regression.
ZONE_MOVABLE only has movable pages so we don't need to keep enough
freepages to avoid or deal with fragmentation. So, don't count it.
This changes min_free_kbytes and thus min_watermark greatly if
ZONE_MOVABLE is used. It will make the user uses more memory.
System:
22GB ram, fakenuma, 2 nodes. 5 zones are used.
Before:
min_free_kbytes: 112640
zone_info (min_watermark):
Node 0, zone DMA
min 19
Node 0, zone DMA32
min 3778
Node 0, zone Normal
min 10191
Node 0, zone Movable
min 0
Node 0, zone Device
min 0
Node 1, zone DMA
min 0
Node 1, zone DMA32
min 0
Node 1, zone Normal
min 14043
Node 1, zone Movable
min 127
Node 1, zone Device
min 0
After:
min_free_kbytes: 90112
zone_info (min_watermark):
Node 0, zone DMA
min 15
Node 0, zone DMA32
min 3022
Node 0, zone Normal
min 8152
Node 0, zone Movable
min 0
Node 0, zone Device
min 0
Node 1, zone DMA

Node 1, zone DMA32

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
