Mel Gorman 9ecc5fc50a mm: compaction: only force pageblock scan completion when skip hints are obeyed
fast_find_migrateblock relies on skip hints to avoid rescanning a recently
selected pageblock but compact_zone() only forces the pageblock scan
completion to set the skip hint if in direct compaction.  While this
prevents direct compaction repeatedly scanning a subset of blocks due to
fast_find_migrateblock(), it does not prevent proactive compaction, node
compaction and kcompactd encountering the same problem described in commit
cfccd2e63e ("mm, compaction: finish pageblocks on complete migration
failure").

Force the scan completion of a pageblock to set the skip hint if skip
hints are obeyed to prevent fast_find_migrateblock() repeatedly selecting
a subset of pageblocks.

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.
