[PATCH 3.14 113/122] mm, compaction: terminate async compaction when rescheduling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit aeef4b83806f49a0c454b7d4578671b71045bee2 upstream.

Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave().  This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.

If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock
scan for async compaction as well.
