From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
isolate_lru_pages() does not just isolate LRU tail pages, but also isolate
neighbour pages of the eviction page. The neighbour search does not stop even
if neighbours cannot be isolated which is excessive as the lumpy reclaim will
no longer result in a successful higher order allocation. This patch stops
the PFN neighbour pages if an isolation fails and moves on to the next block.
