Move migrate_pfn to page block end when block is marked skip to avoid unnecessary scan retry of that block from upper caller. For example, compact_zone may wrongly rescan skip page block with finish_pageblock set as following: 1. cc->migrate point to the start of page block 2. compact_zone record last_migrated_pfn to cc->migrate 3. compact_zone->isolate_migratepages->isolate_migratepages_block tries to scan the block. The low_pfn maybe moved forward to middle of block because of free pages at beginning of block. 4. we find first lru page could be isolated but block was exclusive marked skip. 5. abort isolate_migratepages_block and make cc->migrate_pfn point to found lru page at middle of block. 6. compact_zone find cc->migrate_pfn and last_migrated_pfn are in the same block and wrongly rescan the block with finish_pageblock set.

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.
