When we successfully find a pageblock in fast_find_migrateblock(), the block will be set skip-flag through set_pageblock_skip(). However, when entering isolate_migratepages_block(), the whole pageblock will be skipped due to the branch 'if (!valid_page && IS_ALIGNED(low_pfn, pageblock_nr_pages))'. Eventually we will goto isolate_abort and isolate nothing.

It seems we should tweak the commit log to satisfy the checkpatch.pl first.

This looks like a real problem. Should we add a Fixes tag here? What's the runtime effect of it?

Thanks for your patch!
