不管是快速分配还是慢速分配,实际分配内存的都是 buffered_rmqueue()函数,其他的都是在选择从哪个地方来分配比较合适;
还是先来说说各个参数:
struct zone *preferred_zone 表示分配所能接受的最大zone类型
struct zone *zone 表示就在该zone上分配内存;
int order 表示分配页的阶数
gfp_t gfp_flags 分配的标识
page = buffered_rmqueue(preferred_zone, zone, order, gfp_mask, migratetype); /* * Really, prep_compound_page() should be called from __rmqueue_bulk(). But * we cheat by calling it from here, in the order > 0 path. Saves a branch * or two. */ static inline struct page *buffered_rmqueue(struct zone *preferred_zone, struct zone *zone, int order, gfp_t gfp_flags, int migratetype) { unsigned long flags; struct page *page; int cold = !!(gfp_flags & __GFP_COLD);//是否指定冷热页 again: if (likely(order == 0)) {//分配单页 struct per_cpu_pages *pcp; struct list_head *list; local_irq_save(flags);//禁止本地CPU中断,禁止前先保存中断状态 pcp = &this_cpu_ptr(zone->pageset)->pcp;//获取到cpu高速缓存页 list = &pcp->lists[migratetype];//根据迁移类型,得到高速缓存区的freelist if (list_empty(list)) {//空的,高速缓存没有数据;这可能是上次获取的cpu高速缓存迁移类型和这次不一样 pcp->count += rmqueue_bulk(zone, 0, pcp->batch, list, migratetype, cold);//该函数向高速缓存中添加内存页,具体分析见文章后面 if (unlikely(list_empty(list))) goto failed; } if (cold) page = list_entry(list->prev, struct page, lru); else page = list_entry(list->next, struct page, lru); list_del(&page->lru); pcp->count--; } else { if (unlikely(gfp_flags & __GFP_NOFAIL)) { /* * __GFP_NOFAIL is not to be used in new code. * * All __GFP_NOFAIL callers should be fixed so that they * properly detect and handle allocation failures. * * We most definitely don't want callers attempting to * allocate greater than order-1 page units with * __GFP_NOFAIL. */ WARN_ON_ONCE(order > 1); } spin_lock_irqsave(&zone->lock, flags); page = __rmqueue(zone, order, migratetype); spin_unlock(&zone->lock); if (!page) goto failed; __mod_zone_freepage_state(zone, -(1 << order), get_pageblock_migratetype(page)); } __count_zone_vm_events(PGALLOC, zone, 1 << order); zone_statistics(preferred_zone, zone, gfp_flags); local_irq_restore(flags); VM_BUG_ON(bad_range(zone, page)); if (prep_new_page(page, order, gfp_flags)) goto again; return page; failed: local_irq_restore(flags); return NULL; }
struct zone结构体中有个 struct per_cpu_pageset __percpu *pageset; 成员,该成员用于冷热分配器,热页表示已经在cpu的高速缓存中了;

这是buddy的一个重要函数:在高阶分配得到内存块时,比如 8阶分配得到内存块时。而我们需要的是低价的,比如 6;那么就要调用下面该函数,把8阶分配得到的内存块,挂到7阶上,然后从该内存块上截取一半,再到6阶上,这时候再比较发现正是我们需要分配的内存阶,就直接返回了;
说下参数:
struct zone *zone:所有的操作都在该zone上完成
struct page *page:高阶上分配得到的页块
int low:我们需要的内存阶
int high:在该阶上分配到的内存
struct free_area *area:这是zone上的高阶空闲页数组项
int migratetype:迁移类型
/* * The order of subdivision here is critical for the IO subsystem. * Please do not alter this order without good reasons and regression * testing.

跑到这个函数时,表明上面指定迁移类型从伙伴系统中分配内存失败,所以要用备用迁移列表;
