> scanner position to be in the middle of a pageblock between invocations.
> The hot-fix 1d5bfe1ffb5b ("mm, compaction: prevent infinite loop in
> compact_zone") prevented the issue by adding a special check in the migration
> scanner to satisfy the current detection of scanners meeting.

> However, the proper fix is to make the detection more robust. This patch

> scanner position is in the same or lower pageblock than the migration scanner.
> The special case in isolate_migratepages() introduced by 1d5bfe1ffb5b is
