remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device. But
even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it. So the patch updates the
memory block's state and sends notification to userspace.
Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block.
If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail. So we
should try to offline one memory block at a time.
Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state. So there is no
need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory().

remove_memory() is called in two cases:
1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state
2. hot remove a memory device
In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification
that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling
remove_memory(). So user can notice memory block is changed.
But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the
notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling
remove_memory(). So user cannot notice memory block is changed.
For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare
as follows:
1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory.
2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's
state and notifing the information.
The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory().

Following section mismatch warning is thrown during build;
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x32408f): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_type_name() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock
The function memblock_type_name() references
the variable __meminitdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_type_name lacks a __meminitdata
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.
This is because memblock_type_name makes reference to memblock variable
with attribute __meminitdata. Hence, the warning (even if the function is
inline).

There was a general sentiment in a recent discussion (See

defined unconditionally. Currently, the only offender is GFP_NOTRACK,

Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate
contiguous memory space.
This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out. Of course, it can affect
realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing
is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while
CMA is running. If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't
enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times.

KPF_THP can be set on non-huge compound pages (like slab pages or pages
allocated by drivers with __GFP_COMP) because PageTransCompound only
checks PG_head and PG_tail. Obviously this is a bug and breaks user space
applications which look for thp via /proc/kpageflags.
This patch rules out setting KPF_THP wrongly by additionally checking
PageLRU on the head pages.

During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing,
causing the kernel to hang. When the system doesn't have enough free
pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to
too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever.
The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove,
__zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset()
although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values.
In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in
zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.

Quote from Johannes

: just don't see how check_range() could even fail for this callsite:
:
: 1. we pass mm->mmap->vm_start in there, so we should not fail due to
: find_vma()
:
: 2. we pass MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK, so the discontig checks do not apply
: and so can not fail
:
: 3. we pass MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, the page table loops will
: continue until addr == end, so we never fail with -EIO
And I added a new VM_BUG_ON for checking migrate_to_node's future usecase
which might pass to MPOL_MF_STRICT.

invalidate_range_end
In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we
need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock. In addition to its direct
calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte
call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte.
This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.
Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients
implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of
outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock. This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.
To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:
unsigned long mmun_start; /* For mmu_notifiers */
unsigned long mmun_end; /* For mmu_notifiers */
...
mmun_start = ...
mmun_end = ...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
...
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);
The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.
This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.
Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?
Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
virtual addresses directly to HW. Until now, this was achieved by
pinning the memory during the registration calls. The goal of on demand
paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
other part of their processes address spaces. Instead of requiring the
entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
and only fit the current working set in physical memory.
Why should anyone care? What problems are users currently experiencing?
This can make programming with RDMA much simpler. Today, developers
that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it. On demand
paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
which pages needs to be fetched at a given time. In the future, we
might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
all.
Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes? If so, which and how, etc?
As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.
Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
hardware with the secondary page tables change. A TLB flush of an IO
device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.
Avi said:
kvm may be a buyer. kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.
(there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
is doing up there).

Commit 0c176d52b0b2 ("mm: hugetlb: fix pgoff computation when unmapping
page from vma") fixed pgoff calculation but it has replaced it by
vma_hugecache_offset() which is not approapriate for offsets used for
vma_prio_tree_foreach() because that one expects index in page units
rather than in huge_page_shift.
Johannes said:
: The resulting index may not be too big, but it can be too small: assume
: hpage size of 2M and the address to unmap to be 0x200000. This is regular
: page index 512 and hpage index 1. If you have a VMA that maps the file
: only starting at the second huge page, that VMAs vm_pgoff will be 512 but
: you ask for offset 1 and miss it even though it does map the page of
: interest. hugetlb_cow() will try to unmap, miss the vma, and retry the
: cow until the allocation succeeds or the skipped vma(s) go away.

In many places !pmd_present has been converted to pmd_none. For pmds
that's equivalent and pmd_none is quicker so using pmd_none is better.
However (unless we delete pmd_present) we should provide an accurate
pmd_present too. This will avoid the risk of code thinking the pmd is non
present because it's under __split_huge_page_map, see the pmd_mknotpresent
there and the comment above it.
If the page has been mprotected as PROT_NONE, it would also lead to a
pmd_present false negative in the same way as the race with
split_huge_page.
Because the PSE bit stays on at all times (both during split_huge_page and
when the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit get set), we could only check for the PSE bit,
but checking the PROTNONE bit too is still good to remember pmd_present
must always keep PROT_NONE into account.
This explains a not reproducible BUG_ON that was seldom reported on the
lists.
The same issue is in pmd_large, it would go wrong with both PROT_NONE and
if it races with split_huge_page.

RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is
deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from
a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such
a distance.
To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two
nodes on the system is greather than this distance. This, however, ends
up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of
its affinity.
What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than
RECLAIM_DISTANCE. This patch adds a nodemask to each node that
represents the set of nodes that are within this distance. During the
zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node,
then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char *map;
int fd;
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
unlink("chigurh");
ftruncate(fd, 4096);
map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
map[0] = 11;
mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
ftruncate(fd, 0);
close(fd);
munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
munmap(map, 4096);
system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
return 0;
}
The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap(). Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache? mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

page_evictable(page, vma) is an irritant: almost all its callers pass
NULL for vma. Remove the vma arg and use mlocked_vma_newpage(vma, page)
explicitly in the couple of places it's needed. But in those places we
don't even need page_evictable() itself! They're dealing with a freshly
allocated anonymous page, which has no "mapping" and cannot be mlocked yet.

In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion
dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while
still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock:
invalidate_inode_pages2
invalidate_complete_page2
spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock)
clear_page_mlock
isolate_lru_page
spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock)
isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally:
invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while
holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock.
Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call
clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree.
I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again)
under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has
already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no
worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

While reading through Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt, I found a number
of minor wordos and typos. The patch below is a conservative handling of
some of these: it provides just a number of "obviously correct" fixes to
the English that improve the readability of the document somewhat.
Obviously some more significant fixes need to be made to the document, but
some of those may not be in the "obvious correct" category.

I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,
but is now:
zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.
spanned pages: total size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.
This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be. For example,
numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
ZONE_MOVABLE. When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
I think the bug described in
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2
is also caused by wrong zone present pages.
This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

The changelog for commit 6a6dccba2fdc ("mm: cma: don't replace lowmem

highmem pages during CMA migration. 6a6dccba2fdc fixed that issue.

Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so
that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning. This
information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to
the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths. Hence there is
a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped
forever. Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent
allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds.
Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship
to VM activity and is basically a big hammer.
Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so
this patch implements a rough heuristic. There are two cases where the
cache is cleared.
1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free
scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd
goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the
common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if
kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as
it will be woken on the next allocation request.
2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just
finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a
full scan. This situation happens if there are multiple high-order
allocation requests under heavy memory pressure.
The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently
racy but the race is harmless. For allocations that can fail such as THP,
they will simply fail. For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the
allocation. Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to
when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates
were similar.

This is almost entirely based on Rik's previous patches and discussions
with him about how this might be implemented.
Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
order have been coalesced. When doing subsequent higher order
allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.
However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
at the end of the zone.
This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.
This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
certain workloads on larger memory systems.
This patch caches where the migration and free scanner should start from
on subsequent compaction invocations using the pageblock-skip information.
When compaction starts it begins from the cached restart points and will
update the cached restart points until a page is isolated or a pageblock
is skipped that would have been scanned by synchronous compaction.

When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could
potentially be excessive. The ideal was that a counter be maintained for
each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe
penalty due to a shared writable cache line. It has reached the point
where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on
long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large
number of THPs at the same time.
Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the
pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip. If a pageblock is scanned by
either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is
marked to be skipped in the future. When scanning, this bit is checked
before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set.
The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached
information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be
excessive. If the information is too stale then allocations will fail
that might have otherwise succeeded. In this patch
o CMA always ignores the information
o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will
be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache
was discarded
o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache.
The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a
better event. Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still
allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick
succession due to memory pressure. Waiting until memory pressure is
relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using
reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page. The time-based mechanism is
clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

This reverts commit 7db8889ab05b ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start
off where it left") and commit de74f1cc ("mm: have order > 0 compaction
start near a pageblock with free pages"). These patches were a good
idea and tests confirmed that they massively reduced the amount of
scanning but the implementation is complex and tricky to understand. A
later patch will cache what pageblocks should be skipped and
reimplements the concept of compact_cached_free_pfn on top for both
migration and free scanners.

Compaction's free scanner acquires the zone->lock when checking for
PageBuddy pages and isolating them. It does this even if there are no
PageBuddy pages in the range.
This patch defers acquiring the zone lock for as long as possible. In the
event there are no free pages in the pageblock then the lock will not be
acquired at all which reduces contention on zone->lock.

Richard Davies and Shaohua Li have both reported lock contention problems
in compaction on the zone and LRU locks as well as significant amounts of
time being spent in compaction. This series aims to reduce lock
contention and scanning rates to reduce that CPU usage. Richard reported
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/21/91 that this series made a big
different to a problem he reported in August:
http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=134511507015614&w=2
Patch 1 defers acquiring the zone->lru_lock as long as possible.
Patch 2 defers acquiring the zone->lock as lock as possible.
Patch 3 reverts Rik's "skip-free" patches as the core concept gets
reimplemented later and the remaining patches are easier to
understand if this is reverted first.
Patch 4 adds a pageblock-skip bit to the pageblock flags to cache what
pageblocks should be skipped by the migrate and free scanners.
This drastically reduces the amount of scanning compaction has
to do.
Patch 5 reimplements something similar to Rik's idea except it uses the
pageblock-skip information to decide where the scanners should
restart from and does not need to wrap around.
I tested this on 3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm. Kernels tested were
akpm-20120920 3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm as of Septeber 20th, 2012
lesslock Patches 1-6
revert Patches 1-7
cachefail Patches 1-8
skipuseless Patches 1-9
Stress high-order allocation tests looked ok. Success rates are more or
less the same with the full series applied but there is an expectation
that there is less opportunity to race with other allocation requests if
there is less scanning. The time to complete the tests did not vary that
much and are uninteresting as were the vmstat statistics so I will not
present them here.
Using ftrace I recorded how much scanning was done by compaction and got this
3.6.0-rc6 3.6.0-rc6 3.6.0-rc6 3.6.0-rc6 3.6.0-rc6
akpm-20120920 lockless revert-v2r2 cachefail skipuseless

Total migrate efficiency 0.0103% 0.0039% 0.0034% 0.0343% 0.0466%
The efficiency is worthless because of the nature of the test and the
number of failures. The really interesting point as far as this patch
series is concerned is the number of pages scanned. Note that reverting
Rik's patches massively increases the number of pages scanned indicating
that those patches really did make a difference to CPU usage.
However, caching what pageblocks should be skipped has a much higher
impact. With patches 1-8 applied, free page and migrate page scanning are
both reduced by 95% in comparison to the akpm kernel. If the basic
concept of Rik's patches are implemened on top then scanning then the free
scanner barely changed but migrate scanning was further reduced. That
said, tests on 3.6-rc5 indicated that the last patch had greater impact
than what was measured here so it is a bit variable.
One way or the other, this series has a large impact on the amount of
scanning compaction does when there is a storm of THP allocations.
This patch:
Compaction's migrate scanner acquires the zone->lru_lock when scanning a
range of pages looking for LRU pages to acquire. It does this even if
there are no LRU pages in the range. If multiple processes are compacting
then this can cause severe locking contention. To make matters worse
commit b2eef8c0 ("mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration") releases the lru_lock every
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that are scanned.
This patch makes two changes to how the migrate scanner acquires the LRU
lock. First, it only releases the LRU lock every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages
if the lock is contended. This reduces the number of times it
unnecessarily disables and re-enables IRQs. The second is that it defers
acquiring the LRU lock for as long as possible. If there are no LRU pages
or the only LRU pages are transhuge then the LRU lock will not be acquired
at all which reduces contention on zone->lru_lock.

Commit c67fe3752abe ("mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks
are contended or taking too long") addressed a lock contention problem
in compaction by introducing compact_checklock_irqsave() that effecively
aborting async compaction in the event of compaction.
To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending()
check into compact_checklock_irqsave() but that is very misleading. It
"hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with
locking as such. It just happens to work in a desirable fashion.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check to
isolate_migratepages_range() where it belongs. Arguably the same check
should also happen when isolating pages for freeing but it's overkill.

isolate_migratepages_range() might isolate no pages if for example when
zone->lru_lock is contended and running asynchronous compaction. In this
case, we should abort compaction, otherwise, compact_zone will run a
useless loop and make zone->lru_lock is even contended.
An additional check is added to ensure that cc.migratepages and
cc.freepages get properly drained whan compaction is aborted.

filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

The x86 implementation of atomic_dec_if_positive is quite generic, so make
it available to all architectures.
This is needed for "swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin
readahead".

If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.
But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected. It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.
Suggested by Mel Gorman.

Like below, memory-hotplug makes race between page-isolation
and page-allocation so it can hit BUG_ON in __offline_isolated_pages.
CPU A CPU B
start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
spin_lock_irqsave(zone->lock)
free_hot_cold_page(Page A)
/* without zone->lock */
migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A);
/*
* Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE
* of per_cpu_pages
*/
list_add_tail(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);
set_pageblock_isolate
move_freepages_block
drain_all_pages
/* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */
check_pages_isolated
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock
/*
* We can't catch freed page which
* is free_list[MIGRATE_MOVABLE]
*/
if (PageBuddy(page A))
pfn += 1 << page_order(page A);
/* So, Page A could be allocated */
__offline_isolated_pages
/*
* BUG_ON hit or offline page
* which is used by someone
*/
BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page A));
This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock. So now
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.

The page allocator caches the pageblock information in page->private while
it is in the PCP freelists but this is overwritten with the order of the
page when freed to the buddy allocator. This patch stores the migratetype
of the page in the page->index field so that it is available at all times
when the page remain in free_list.
This patch adds a new call site in __free_pages_ok so it might be overhead
a bit but it's for high order allocation. So I believe damage isn't hurt.

The page allocator uses set_page_private and page_private for handling
migratetype when it frees page. Let's replace them with [set|get]
_freepage_migratetype to make it more clear.
