[PATCHv24 00/16] Contiguous Memory Allocator

[cary.zou1988@gmail.com (cary.zou)]

Hello all,
I'm using CMA to malloc contiguous memory, and I have following failure:

__alloc_contig_migrate_range: test_pages_isolated(3bc00, 3c000) failed

I try to dump_page, it shows:

page:81778620 count:1 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x88b
page flags: 0x40000000()

since I am not familiar with mm, can someone give me some hint on this
failure?
