[PATCH 02/11] mm: compaction: introduceisolate_{free,migrate}pages_range().

From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Thu Dec 29 2011 - 07:39:21 EST


From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@xxxxxxxxxx>

This commit introduces isolate_freepages_range() and
isolate_migratepages_range() functions. The first one replaces
isolate_freepages_block() and the second one extracts functionality
from isolate_migratepages().

They are more generic and instead of operating on pageblocks operate
on PFN ranges.
