[1/4] is just clean up and help for [2/4]. [2/4] keeps the migratetype information to freed page's index field and [3/4] uses the information. [3/4] fixes the race problem with [2/4]'s information. [4/4] enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio After applying [2/4], 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. This patchset is based on mmotm-2012-09-06-16-46 Minchan Kim (4): use get_page_migratetype instead of page_private mm: remain migratetype in freed page memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing include/linux/mm.h | 12 ++++++++++++ include/linux/page-isolation.h | 4 ++++ mm/page_alloc.c | 19 ++++++++++++------- mm/page_isolation.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
