When placing pages on a pcp list, migratetype values over
MIGRATE_PCPTYPES get added to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcp list.
However, the actual migratetype is preserved in the page and should
not be changed to MIGRATE_MOVABLE or the page may end up on the wrong
free_list.
The impact is that HIGHATOMIC or CMA pages getting bulk freed from the
PCP lists could potentially end up on the wrong buddy list. There are
various consequences but minimally NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES accounting could
get screwed up.

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.
