[PATCH v2 1/8] mm/compaction: avoid missing last page block in section after skip offline sections

From: Kemeng Shi
Date: Tue Aug 01 2023 - 21:37:34 EST


skip_offline_sections_reverse will return the last pfn in found online
section. Then we set block_start_pfn to start of page block which
contains the last pfn in section. Then we continue, move one page
block forward and ignore the last page block in the online section.
Make block_start_pfn point to first page block after online section to fix
this:
1. make skip_offline_sections_reverse return end pfn of online section,
i.e. pfn of page block after online section.
2. assign block_start_pfn with next_pfn.
