Hi, I find all the watermarks in mm/compaction.c are low_wmark_pages(), so why not use high watermark to determine whether compact is finished?
e.g.
__alloc_pages_nodemask()
get_page_from_freelist()
this is fast path, use use low_wmark_pages() in __zone_watermark_ok()
__alloc_pages_slowpath()
this is slow path, usually use min_wmark_pages()
kswapd
balance_pgdat()
use high_wmark_pages() to determine whether zone is balanced
Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
