[PATCH v2] mm/page_isolation: do not isolate the max order page

From: Muchun Song
Date: Thu Dec 03 2020 - 11:24:16 EST


The max order page has no buddy page and never merge to other order.
So isolating and then freeing it is pointless. And if order == MAX_ORDER
- 1, then the buddy can actually be a !pfn_valid() in some corner case?
pfn_valid_within(buddy_pfn) that follows would only catch it on archs
with holes in zone. Then is_migrate_isolate_page(buddy) might access an
invalid buddy. So this is also a bug fix.
