Joonsoo Kim 8b283f35d3 mm/page_alloc: fix incorrect isolation behavior by rechecking migratetype
There are two paths to reach core free function of buddy allocator,
__free_one_page(), one is free_one_page()->__free_one_page() and the
other is free_hot_cold_page()->free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page().
Each paths has race condition causing serious problems. At first, this
patch is focused on first type of freepath. And then, following patch
will solve the problem in second type of freepath.

In the first type of freepath, we got migratetype of freeing page without
holding the zone lock, so it could be racy. There are two cases of this
race.

1. pages are added to isolate buddy list after restoring orignal
migratetype

CPU1                                   CPU2

get migratetype => return MIGRATE_ISOLATE
call free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE

				grab the zone lock
				unisolate pageblock
				release the zone lock

grab the zone lock
call __free_one_page() with MIGRATE_ISOLATE
freepage go into isolate buddy list,
although pageblock is already unisolated

This may cause two problems. One is that we can't use this page anymore
until next isolation attempt of this pageblock, because freepage is on
isolate buddy list. The other is that freepage accouting could be wrong
due to merging between different buddy list. Freepages on isolate buddy
list aren't counted as freepage, but ones on normal buddy list are counted
as freepage. If merge happens, buddy freepage on normal buddy list is
inevitably moved to isolate buddy list without any consideration of
freepage accouting so it could be incorrect.

2. pages are added to normal buddy list while pageblock is isolated.
It is similar with above case.

This also may cause two problems. One is that we can't keep these
freepages from being allocated. Although this pageblock is isolated,
freepage would be added to normal buddy list so that it could be
allocated without any restriction. And the other problem is same as
case 1, that it, incorrect freepage accouting.

This race condition would be prevented by checking migratetype again
with holding the zone lock. Because it is somewhat heavy operation
and it isn't needed in common case, we want to avoid rechecking as much
as possible. So this patch introduce new variable, nr_isolate_pageblock
in struct zone to check if there is isolated pageblock.
With this, we can avoid to re-check migratetype in common case and do
it only if there is isolated pageblock or migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
This solve above mentioned problems.
