Page isolation doesn't actually touch the pages, it simply isolates
pageblocks and moves all free pages to the MIGRATE_ISOLATE freelist.

We already place pages to the tail of the freelists when undoing
isolation via __putback_isolated_page(), let's do it in any case
(e.g., if order == pageblock_order) and document the behavior.

This change results in all pages getting onlined via online_pages() to
be placed to the tail of the freelist.

I am sorry to not follow again. unset_migratetype_isolate() is used in
__offline_pages if my understanding is correct. How does it contribute on
online_pages?

See -next / -mm, that should make it clearer.

There are just 3 callers of move_to_free_list() before this patch, I would just
add the to_tail parameter there instead of new wrapper. For callers with
constant parameter, the inline will eliminate it anyway.

Likewise, just 5 callers of move_freepages_block(), all in the files you're
already changing, so no need for this wrappers IMHO.

I once was told boolean parameters are the root of all evil, so I tried
to keep them file-local :)

One thing to be aware of is, that inline optimizations won't help as
long as this function is in mm/page_alloc.c, see below.

As long as we don't want to move the implementation to the header, we'll
need it for the constant propagation to work at compile time (we don't
really have link-time optimizations). Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

I guess move_freepages_block() is not exactly fast path, so we could do without it.

So, I'll leave this as is for now, it nicely pairs with
add_to_free_list()/add_to_free_list_tail() and ...

Drop these wrappers, converting callers of move_freepages_block().

LGTM.
Feel the same way about move_freepages_block_tail/move_freepages_block_tail
wrappers, I think we are better off without them.
