This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 91ca9186484809c57303b33778d841cc28f696ed upstream.
The cached pageblock hint should be ignored when triggering compaction
through /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory so all eligible memory is isolated.
Manually invoking compaction is known to be expensive, there's no need
to skip pageblocks based on heuristics (mainly for debugging).
