Then his patch fixing the introduced regression This potential problem exists there before Michal's series if the migratetype of the target pageblock isn't MIGRATE_MOVABLE or MIGRATE_CMA. However, his series enlarges this potential problem surface. It would be the problem now even if the migratetype of the target pageblock is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. > should be enough for now, and further improvements could be posted on > top, and not vice versa? Please don't take it wrong, I agree the current > state is a bit of a mess and improvements are welcome. Also it seems to I'm not very sensitive that which patch is applied first. I can do rebase. But, IMHO, correct applying order is my patch first and then Michal's series. Anyway, Michal, feel free to do what you think correct. > me that Michal is right, and there's nothing preventing > alloc_contig_range() to allocate from CMA pageblocks for non-CMA > purposes (likely not movable), and that should be also fixed? I noticed the problem you mentioned now and, yes, it should be fixed. My patch will naturally fixes this issue, too.
