mm/cma: always check which page caused allocation failure
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now, we have tracepoint in test_pages_isolated() to notify pfn which
cannot be isolated.  But, in alloc_contig_range(), some error path
doesn't call test_pages_isolated() so it's still hard to know exact pfn
that causes allocation failure.

This patch change this situation by calling test_pages_isolated() in
almost error path.  In allocation failure case, some overhead is added
by this change, but, allocation failure is really rare event so it would
not matter.

In fatal signal pending case, we don't call test_pages_isolated()
because this failure is intentional one.

There was a bogus outer_start problem due to unchecked buddy order and
this patch also fix it.  Before this patch, it didn't matter, because
end result is same thing.  But, after this patch, tracepoint will report
failed pfn so it should be accurate.
