[PATCH 4/6] hugetlb: avoid allocation failed when page reporting is on going

From: Liang Li
Date: Tue Jan 05 2021 - 22:51:17 EST


Page reporting isolates free pages temporarily when reporting
free pages information. It will reduce the actual free pages
and may cause application failed for no enough available memory.
This patch try to solve this issue, when there is no free page
and page repoting is on going, wait until it is done.
