In the current implementation, there are two places to isolate a range
of page: __offline_pages() and alloc_contig_range(). During this
procedure, it will drain pages on pcp list.
Below is a brief call flow:
__offline_pages()/alloc_contig_range()
start_isolate_page_range()
set_migratetype_isolate()
drain_all_pages()
drain_all_pages() <--- A
This snippet shows the current logic is isolate and drain pcp list for
each pageblock and drain pcp list again for the whole range.
start_isolate_page_range is responsible for isolating the given pfn
range. One part of that job is to make sure that also pages that are on
the allocator pcp lists are properly isolated. Otherwise they could be
reused and the range wouldn't be completely isolated until the memory is
freed back. While there is no strict guarantee here because pages might
get allocated at any time before drain_all_pages is called there doesn't
seem to be any strong demand for such a guarantee.
In any case, draining is already done at the isolation level and there
is no need to do it again later by start_isolate_page_range callers
(memory hotplug and CMA allocator currently). Therefore remove
pointless draining in existing callers to make the code more clear and
functionally correct.
