[PATCH 4/6] mm/hwpoison: don't set migration type twice to avoid hold heavy contend zone->lock

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Thu Aug 22 2013 - 05:49:46 EST


Set pageblock migration type will hold zone->lock which is heavy contended
in system to avoid race. However, soft offline page will set pageblock
migration type twice during get page if the page is in used, not hugetlbfs
page and not on lru list. There is unnecessary to set the pageblock migration
type and hold heavy contended zone->lock again if the first round get page
have already set the pageblock to right migration type.
