Sorry, No. This patch arised from bellowing OOM issue which is caused
by MIGRATE_CMA occupying almost 100 percent of zones free pages and
solved by "168676649 mm,page_alloc,cma: conditionally prefer cma
pageblocks for movable allocations". This could be a common scenario
for a zone that has a large proportion of CMA reserved page blocks
which need to be considered in both allocation and reclaiming
perspective.
