[PATCH 04/15] mm: compaction: introduce isolate_freepages_range()

From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Fri Feb 03 2012 - 07:22:28 EST


From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@xxxxxxxxxx>

This commit introduces isolate_freepages_range() function which
generalises isolate_freepages_block() so that it can be used on
arbitrary PFN ranges.

isolate_freepages_block() is left with only minor changes.
