Subject: mm/compaction: pass only pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page
From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>
commit e1409c325fdc1fef7b3d8025c51892355f065d15 upstream.
pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used to check there is valid pfn and all
pages in the pageblock is in a single zone. If there is a hole in the
pageblock, passing arbitrary position to pageblock_pfn_to_page() could
cause to skip whole pageblock scanning, instead of just skipping the
hole page. For deterministic behaviour, it's better to always pass
pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page(). It will also help
further optimization on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in the following patch.
