I agree that memory compaction should be isolating and migrating
unevictable memory for better results, and we have been running with a
similar patch internally for about a year for the same purpose as you,
higher probability of allocating hugepages.
This would be better off removing the notion of ISOLATE_UNEVICTABLE
entirely, however, since CMA and now memory compaction would be using it,
so the check in __isolate_lru_page() is no longer necessary. Has the
added bonus of removing about 10 lines of soure code.
