isolate_lru_pages() doesn't only isolate LRU tail pages, but also isolate neighbor pages of the eviction page. Now, the neighbor search don't stop even if neighbors can't be isolated. It is silly. successful higher order allocation need full contenious memory, even though only one page reclaim failure mean to fail making enough contenious memory. Then, isolate_lru_pages() should stop to search PFN neighbor pages and try to search next page on LRU soon. This patch does it. Also all of lumpy reclaim failure account nr_lumpy_failed.
