Applying the patch, the kernel messages disappeared. Thanks. But I have a question. Using online_movable, the following messages are shown.
[ 608.314608] Built 3 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 7844412 [ 608.411478] Policy zone: Normal
I think memory is allocated to ZONE_MOVABLE by using online_movable. So why is "Policy zone: Normal" shown? It should be "Policy zone: Movable"
Thanks, Yasuaki Ishimatsu
