* 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 call to drain_all_pages() after isolation can flush most of them. However
+ * in some cases pages might still end up on pcp lists and that would allow
* for their allocation even when they are in fact isolated already. Depending
- * on how strong of a guarantee the caller needs drain_all_pages might be needed
- * (e.g. __offline_pages will need to call it after check for isolated range for
- * a next retry).
+ * on how strong of a guarantee the caller needs, zone_pcp_disable/enable()
+ * might be used to flush and disable pcplist before isolation and enable after
+ * unisolation.
*
* Return: 0 on success and -EBUSY if any part of range cannot be isolated.
