The patch titled
Subject: mm, compaction: don't isolate PageWriteback pages in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-compaction-dont-isolate-pagewriteback-pages-in-migrate_sync_light-mode.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, compaction: don't isolate PageWriteback pages in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode
At present MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT is allowing __isolate_lru_page() to isolate
a PageWriteback page, which __unmap_and_move() then rejects with -EBUSY:
of course the writeback might complete in between, but that's not what we
usually expect, so probably better not to isolate it.
When tested by stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the number
of page migrate failures by 60-70%.
