[PATCH v5 3/6] mm/page_isolation: drop WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_migratetype_isolate()

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Sun Aug 16 2020 - 08:54:34 EST


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()).
