Zi Yan b2c9e2fbba mm: make alloc_contig_range work at pageblock granularity
alloc_contig_range() worked at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES granularity to avoid
merging pageblocks with different migratetypes.  It might unnecessarily
convert extra pageblocks at the beginning and at the end of the range. 
Change alloc_contig_range() to work at pageblock granularity.

Special handling is needed for free pages and in-use pages across the
boundaries of the range specified by alloc_contig_range().  Because these=

Partially isolated pages causes free page accounting issues.  The free
pages will be split and freed into separate migratetype lists; the in-use=

Pages will be migrated then the freed pages will be handled in the
aforementioned way.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
