From be49a6e13537f32f85bd8c4ba04317ca36ca60ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Szyprowski Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:51:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: use migrate_prep() instead of migrate_prep_local() __alloc_contig_migrate_range() should use all possible ways to get all the pages migrated from the given memory range, so pruning per-cpu lru lists for all CPUs is required, regadless the cost of such operation. Otherwise some pages which got stuck at per-cpu lru list might get missed by migration procedure causing the contiguous allocation to fail.
