[PATCH] mm: compaction: Cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated -fix3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following patch still has not been tested but I'm reposting it
anyway. I've sent a rebased patch on top of next-20121004 that includes
this patch privately to Thierry for testing.


CMA requires that the PG_migrate_skip hint be skipped but it was only
skipping it when isolating pages for migration, not for free. Ensure
cc->isolate_skip_hint gets passed in both cases.

This is a fix for
mm-compaction-cache-if-a-pageblock-was-scanned-and-no-pages-were-isolated-fix.patch
but is based on top of linux-next/akpm as of 20121004. It will cause
minor conflicts when it is slotted into place but the resolutions should
be straight-forward.
