-Rebase code on current mm-unstable

v1->v2:
-Add comment to skip_offline_sections_reverse in patch 1
-Add impact in git message in patch 2
-Correct comment to fast_find_block instead of remove fast_find_block
in patch 4
-Collect RVB from David and Baolin.

Kemeng Shi (8):
  mm/compaction: avoid missing last page block in section after skip
    offline sections
  mm/compaction: correct last_migrated_pfn update in compact_zone
  mm/compaction: skip page block marked skip in
    isolate_migratepages_block
  mm/compaction: correct comment of fast_find_migrateblock in
    isolate_migratepages
  mm/compaction: correct comment of cached migrate pfn update
  mm/compaction: correct comment to complete migration failure
  mm/compaction: remove unnecessary return for void function
  mm/compaction: only set skip flag if cc->no_set_skip_hint is false

[PATCH v3 4/8] mm/compaction: correct comment of fast_find_migrateblock in isolate_migratepages

[Kemeng Shi]

After 90ed667c03fe5 ("Revert "Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"""), we remove skip set in fast_find_migrateblock.
Correct comment that fast_find_block is used to avoid isolation_suitable
check for pageblock returned from fast_find_migrateblock because
fast_find_migrateblock will mark found pageblock skipped.
Instead, comment that fast_find_block is used to avoid a redundant check
of fast found pageblock which is already checked skip flag inside
fast_find_migrateblock.

[PATCH v3 5/8] mm/compaction: correct comment of cached migrate pfn update

[Kemeng Shi]

Commit e380bebe47715 ("mm, compaction: keep migration source private to
a single compaction instance") moved update of async and sync
compact_cached_migrate_pfn from update_pageblock_skip to
update_cached_migrate but left the comment behind.
Move the relevant comment to correct this.

Again, the Fixes tag is not stable. Please consider squashing it into 
the original commit or hold this patch until the original patch is 
merged into mm-stable branch.

Andrew,
What do you prefer? Thanks.
