From 0db63d7e25f96e2c6da925c002badf6f144ddf30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 13:56:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: correct the nr_strict va isolated check for CMA Thierry reported that the "iron out" patch for isolate_freepages_block() had problems due to the strict check being too strict with "mm: compaction: Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_freepages_range() -fix1". It's possible that more pages than necessary are isolated but the check still fails and I missed that this fix was not picked up before RC1. This same problem has been identified in 3.7-RC1 by Tony Prisk and should be addressed by the following patch.
