From 435b405c06119d93333738172b8060b0ed12af41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:32:16 -0700 Subject: memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE. The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. If it is detected, now EBUSY gets bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails. But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected. It could enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is really rare. Suggested by Mel Gorman.
