Subject[PATCH 23/25] Get the pageblock migratetype without disabling interrupts
Date
Local interrupts are disabled when freeing pages to the PCP list. Part
of that free checks what the migratetype of the pageblock the page is in
but it checks this with interrupts disabled. This patch checks the
pagetype with interrupts enabled. The impact is that it is possible a
page is freed to the wrong list when a pageblock changes type but as
that block is now already considered mixed from an anti-fragmentation
perspective, it's not of vital importance.
