Previously, isolation really was a corner case. CMA and highatomic are less of a corner case ... I'm not even sure if this check is worth having around anymore at all, or if it would be easier and cheaper to just always check the both migration types unconditionally. Would certainly simplify the code. Side node: we actually care about has_free_non_fallback_pageblock(), we can only merge with free pageblocks. But that might not necessarily be cheaper to test/track/check.> + > /* > * Freeing function for a buddy system allocator. > * > @@ -1117,14 +1123,15 @@ static inline void __free_one_page(struct page *page, > } > if (order < MAX_ORDER - 1) { > /* If we are here, it means order is >= pageblock_order. > - * We want to prevent merge between freepages on isolate > - * pageblock and normal pageblock.

Although the "has fallback" part is a bit imprecise. "migratetype_is_mergable()" might be a bit clearer. ideally "migratetype_is_mergable_with_other_types()". Can we come up with a nice name for that? -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
