Subject: mm: compaction: skip the memory hole rapidly when isolating free pages
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2023 16:51:47 +0800
On my machine with below memory layout, and I can see it will take more
time to skip the larger memory hole (range: 0x100000000 - 0x1800000000)
when isolating free pages. So adding a new helper to skip the memory hole
rapidly, which can reduce the time consumed from about 70us to less than
1us.
