Subject[PATCH 3/6] mm: page_alloc: move free pages when converting block during isolation
Date
When claiming a block during compaction isolation, move any remaining
free pages to the correct freelists as well, instead of stranding them
on the wrong list. Otherwise, this encourages incompatible page mixing
down the line, and thus long-term fragmentation.
