[PATCH v3] mm: Use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation

From: Laura Abbott <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-06 21:11:50
Also in: linux-arm-msm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that
(pfn - zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the
same bit for all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not
aligned to pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.

Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:

pfn     | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order
----------------------------------------------------------------
0x26000 | 0x25e00	   |  0x97
0x26100 | 0x25f00	   |  0x97
0x26200 | 0x26000	   |  0x98
0x26300 | 0x26100	   |  0x98

This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single
page will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by
rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.
