During migration in a memory compaction, free pages are placed in an array of page lists based on their order. But the desired free page order (i.e., the order of a source page) might not be always present, thus leading to migration failures and premature compaction termination. Split a high order free pages when source migration page has a lower order to increase migration successful rate. Note: merging free pages when a migration fails and a lower order free page is returned via compaction_free() is possible, but there is too much work. Since the free pages are not buddy pages, it is hard to identify these free pages using existing PFN-based page merging algorithm.

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.
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.
