[1/3] is just clean up and help for [2/3]. [2/3] keeps the migratetype information to freed page's index field and [3/3] uses the information. [3/3] fixes the race problem with [2/3]'s information. After applying [2/3], migratetype argument in __free_one_page and free_one_page is redundant so we can remove it but I decide to not touch them because it increases code size about 50 byte. Minchan Kim (3): mm: use get_page_migratetype instead of page_private mm: remain migratetype in freed page memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation include/linux/mm.h | 12 ++++++++++++ mm/page_alloc.c | 16 ++++++++++------ mm/page_isolation.c | 7 +++++-- 3 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
