The patch titled Subject: mm: page-isolation: skip isolated pageblock in start_isolate_page_range() has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-page-isolation-skip-isolated-pageblock-in-start_isolate_page_range.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-page-isolation-skip-isolated-pageblock-in-start_isolate_page_range.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: page-isolation: skip isolated pageblock in start_isolate_page_range() Date: Thu, 26 May 2022 19:15:30 -0400 start_isolate_page_range() first isolates the first and the last pageblocks in the range and ensure pages across range boundaries are split during isolation. But it missed the case when the range is <= a pageblock and the first and the last pageblocks are the same one, so the second isolate_single_pageblock() will always fail. To fix it, skip the pageblock isolation in second isolate_single_pageblock().
