From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit c122b2087ab94192f2b937e47b563a9c4e688ece upstream. isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to call it on every page. Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't do well when suitable. 1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was already estabilished as suitable. 2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated. This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock that was just checked. Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more simple.
