find_large_buddy() search buddy based on start_pfn, which maybe different
from page's pfn, e.g. when page is not pageblock aligned, because
prep_move_freepages_block() always align start_pfn to pageblock.
This means when we found a starting block at start_pfn, it may check on
the wrong page theoretically. And not split the free page as it is
supposed to, causing a freelist migratetype mismatch.
The good news is the page passed to __move_freepages_block_isolate() has
only two possible cases:
* page is pageblock aligned
* page is __first_valid_page() of this block
So it is safe for the first case, and it won't get a buddy larger than
pageblock for the second case.
To fix the issue, check the returned pfn of find_large_buddy() to decide
whether to split the free page:
1. if it is not a PageBuddy pfn, no split;
2. if it is a PageBuddy pfn but order <= pageblock_order, no split;
3. if it is a PageBuddy pfn with order > pageblock_order, start_pfn is
either in the starting block or tail block, split the PageBuddy at
pageblock_order level.

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 reStructuredText 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.
