Why that should be a problem? I think it is perfectly OK to have MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks inside kernel zones. > That may conflict with CMA pages ? How? > Wondering whether we should check for page's pageblock migrate type in > pfn_range_valid_gigantic() ? I do not think so. Migrate type is just too lowlevel for pfn_range_valid_gigantic. If something like that is really needed then it should go down the CMA/alloc_contig_range path. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
