commit 694d6b99923eb05a8fd188be44e26077d19f0e21 upstream.
Commit 48b4800a1c6a ("zsmalloc: page migration support") added support for migrating zsmalloc pages using the movable_operations migration framework. However, the commit did not take into account that zsmalloc supports migration only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled. Tracing shows that zsmalloc was still passing the __GFP_MOVABLE flag even when compaction is not supported.
This can result in unmovable pages being allocated from movable page blocks (even without stealing page blocks), ZONE_MOVABLE and CMA area.
Possible user visible effects: - Some ZONE_MOVABLE memory can be not actually movable - CMA allocation can fail because of this - Increased memory fragmentation due to ignoring the page mobility grouping feature I'm not really sure who uses kernels without compaction support, though :(
To fix this, clear the __GFP_MOVABLE flag when !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION).
