[PATCH v5 04/14] mm/gup: check for isolation errors

From: Pavel Tatashin
Date: Mon Jan 18 2021 - 23:45:56 EST


It is still possible that we pin movable CMA pages if there are isolation
errors and cma_page_list stays empty when we check again.

Check for isolation errors, and return success only when there are no
isolation errors, and cma_page_list is empty after checking.

Because isolation errors are transient, we retry indefinitely.
