From: Miaohe Lin Subject: mm: compaction: make sure highest is above the min_pfn It's not guaranteed that highest will be above the min_pfn. If highest is below the min_pfn, migrate_pfn and free_pfn can meet prematurely and lead to some useless work. Make sure highest is above min_pfn to avoid making a futile effort.
