Yes, you are right.

I mean if the we free cma page to pcp-list, it will goto the migrate_movable list.

Then the alloc with movable flag can use the cma memory from the list with buffered_rmqueue.

But that's not what we want. It will cause the migrate fail if all movable alloc can use cma memory.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

Thanks.
