Zi Yan 88ee134320 mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range()
In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there
are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when
isolating a page range.  This is reported by Qian Cai.

1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype
   without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to
   isolate pageblock properly.
2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page
   is not crossing pageblock boundary.
3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the
   free page later has a small race window that the free page might be
   allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential
   infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to
   MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is
   found after page migration.

An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in
__free_one_page().  When the free page is split at the specified
split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of
free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller
one.  For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000,
free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then
0x8000, which the original algorithm did.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
