Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Make is_mem_section_removable more conformable with
offlining code
Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is
removable or not. But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't
check details of cluster of pages.
Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind
of check, too. But the migrate-type is just a "hint" and the pageblock
can contain several types of pages if fragmentation is very heavy.
To get precise information, we need to check
- the pageblock only contains free pages or LRU pages.
This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes
above 2 checks to use the same logic. This will improve user experience
of memory hotplug because sysfs interface tells accurate information.
Note:
it may be better to check MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE for making failure case quick.
Note2:
I'm not sure but notifer should be called ??
