Memory hotplug has a subtle race problem so this patchset fixes the problem (Look at [3/3] for detail and please confirm the problem before review other patches in this series.)
[1/4] is just clean up and help for [2/4]. [2/4] keeps the migratetype information to freed page's index field and [3/4] uses the information. [3/4] fixes the race problem with [2/4]'s information. [4/4] enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio
After applying [2/4], migratetype argument in __free_one_page and free_one_page is redundant so we can remove it but I decide to not touch them because it increases code size about 50 byte.
This patchset is based on mmotm-2012-09-06-16-46
Minchan Kim (4): use get_page_migratetype instead of page_private mm: remain migratetype in freed page memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing
