  * pageblocks we may have modified and return -EBUSY to caller. This
  * prevents two threads from simultaneously working on overlapping ranges.

+ * Please note that there is no strong synchronization with the page allocator
+ * either. Pages might be freed while their page blocks are marked ISOLATED.
+ * In some cases pages might still end up on pcp lists and that would allow

+ * a next retry).

  * Return: the number of isolated pageblocks on success and -EBUSY if any part
  * of range cannot be isolated.
