If racing against offline_pages, memory is potentially being offlined in the target zone which may cause allocation failure. If racing with other alloc_contig_range calls, the two callers are potentially racing to isolate and allocate the same range. The arguement could be made that alloc_contig_ranges should be serialised within one zone to improve the allocation success rate at the potential cost of allocation latency. -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs
