According to the commit messages of "mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing" and "mm: vmscan: decide whether to compact the pgdat based on reclaim progress", minor change is required to the following snippet. /* * If any zone is currently balanced then kswapd will * not call compaction as it is expected that the * necessary pages are already available. */ if (pgdat_needs_compaction && zone_watermark_ok(zone, order, low_wmark_pages(zone), *classzone_idx, 0)) pgdat_needs_compaction = false; zone_watermark_ok() should be replaced by zone_balanced() in the above snippet. That's because zone_balanced() is more suitable for the context.
