Subject: mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock
From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>
commit 3c605096d3158216ba9326a16266f6ba128c2c8d upstream.
Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock
individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with
pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on
normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of
merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock.
A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy
freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing
pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to
normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also
makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When
un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are
checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we
isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged.
