memory unplug: page isolation
Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops.
This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this
- MIGRATE_TYPES increases.
- bitmap for migratetype is enlarged.
pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free.
By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not
a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages.
If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called,
- migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE if
its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other
memory reclaiming works make progress.
- MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list.
- All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated.
To check all pages in the range are isolated or not, use test_pages_isolated(),
To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range().
Changes V6 -> V7
- removed unnecessary #ifdef
There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
