mm: compaction: fix endless looping over same migrate block
During stress testing, the following situation was observed:
70 root 39 19 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.0 959:29.92 khugepaged
310936 root 20 0 84416 25620 512 R 99.7 1.5 642:37.22 hugealloc
Tracing shows isolate_migratepages_block() endlessly looping over the
first block in the DMA zone:
hugealloc-310936 [001] ..... 237297.415718: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 zone=DMA order=9 ret=no_suitable_page
hugealloc-310936 [001] ..... 237297.415718: mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages: range=(0x1 ~ 0x400) nr_scanned=513 nr_taken=0

hugealloc-310936 [001] ..... 237297.415718: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 zone=DMA order=9 ret=no_suitable_page
hugealloc-310936 [001] ..... 237297.415718: mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages: range=(0x1 ~ 0x400) nr_scanned=513 nr_taken=0
The problem is that the functions tries to test and set the skip bit once
on the block, to avoid skipping on its own skip-set, using
pageblock_aligned() on the pfn as a test. But because this is the DMA
zone which starts at pfn 1, this is never true for the first block, and
the skip bit isn't set or tested at all. As a result,
fast_find_migrateblock() returns the same pageblock over and over.
If the pfn isn't pageblock-aligned, also check if it's the start of the
zone to ensure test-and-set-exactly-once on unaligned ranges.
Thanks to Vlastimil Babka for the help in debugging this.
