    memory hotplug: missing zone->lock in test_pages_isolated() · 6c1b7f68
    Gerald Schaefer authored
    __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() in mm/page_isolation.c has a comment
    saying that the caller must hold zone->lock. But the only caller of that
    function, test_pages_isolated(), does not hold zone->lock and the lock is
    also not acquired anywhere before. This patch adds the missing zone->lock
    to test_pages_isolated().
    
    We reproducibly run into BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages()
    during memory hotplug stress test, see trace below. This patch fixes that
    problem, it would be good if we could have it in 2.6.27.
