[PATCH v4 3/6] mm/page_isolation: drop WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_migratetype_isolate()

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-04 19:42:11
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

Inside has_unmovable_pages(), we have a comment describing how unmovable
data could end up in ZONE_MOVABLE - via "movablecore". Also, besides
checking if the first page in the pageblock is reserved, we don't
perform any further checks in case of ZONE_MOVABLE.

In case of memory offlining, we set REPORT_FAILURE, properly
dump_page() the page and handle the error gracefully.
alloc_contig_pages() users currently never allocate from ZONE_MOVABLE.
E.g., hugetlb uses alloc_contig_pages() for the allocation of gigantic
pages only, which will never end up on the MOVABLE zone
(see htlb_alloc_mask()).
