When we successfully find a pageblock in fast_find_migrateblock(),
the block will be set skip-flag through set_pageblock_skip(). However,
when entering isolate_migratepages_block(), the whole pageblock will
be skipped due to the branch
'if (!valid_page && IS_ALIGNED(low_pfn, pageblock_nr_pages))'.
Eventually we will goto isolate_abort and isolate nothing. That cause
fast_find_migrateblock useless.
In this Patch, when we find a suitable pageblock in fast_find_
migrateblock, we do noting but let isolate_migratepages_block
to set skip flag to the pageblock after scan it. Normally,
we would isolate some pages from the fast-find block.
I use mmtest/thpscale-madvhugepage test it. Here is the result:
