From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 01ead5340bcf5f3a1cd2452c75516d0ef4d908d7 upstream. suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock. suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order. So calling it once within pageblock range has no problem.
