I don't *think* so but I didn't look too hard as I had limited time available before a meeting. compaction_alloc calls isolate_freepages and that calls split_map_pages whether fast or slow isolating pages. The problem *may* be in split_page because only the head page gets order set to 0 but it's a bad fit because tail pages should be cleared of private state by del_page_from_free_list. It might be worth adding a debugging patch to split_pages that prints a warning once if a tail page has private state and dump the contents of private to see if it looks like an order. -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs
