In old code, we set skip to found page block in fast_find_migrateblock. So
we use fast_find_block to avoid skip found page block from

In 90ed667c03fe5 ("Revert "Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"""), we remove skip set in fast_find_migrateblock,
then fast_find_block is useless.

I do not think so. If the pageblock is found by fast_find_migrateblock(), that means it definitely has not been set the skip flag, so there is not need to call isolation_suitable() if fast_find_block is true, right?
Actually, found pageblock could be set skip as:
1. other compactor could mark this pageblock as skip after zone lock is realeased
in fast_find_migrateblock.
Yes, but your patch also can not close this race window, that means it can also be set skip flag after the isolation_suitable() validation by other compactors.
Yes, I think it's still worth to remove a lot of fast_find_block relevant check and reduce
code complexity with one redundant isolation_suitable which may skip some block with luck.
2. fast_find_migrateblock may uses pfn from reinit_migrate_pfn which is previously found
and sacnned. It could be fully sacnned and marked skip after it's first return from
Right, but now the 'fast_find_block' is false, and we will call isolation_suitable() to validate the skip flag.
Right, sorry for missing that.
But it's ok to keep the fast_find_block if you insist and I will just correct the stale
Yes, I still prefer to keep the fast_find_block, since I did not see
this patch can fix any real issue and might have a side effect for
fast-find-pageblock(?).
comment that "fast_find_migrateblock marks a pageblock skipped ..." in next version.
Sure, please do it.
