      mm: compaction: Partially revert capture of suitable high-order page · 47ecfcb7
      Mel Gorman authored
      Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when
      waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket.  It was easier to trigger if
      there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to
      commit 1fb3f8ca ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
      immediately when it is made available").
      
      The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under
      memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt
      THP allocations but the approach was flawed.  For Eric, the problem was
      that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading
      to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to
      be dropped.  However, I identified a few more problems with the patch
      including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some
      cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early.
      
      In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach.  What it should
      have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it
      was allocating for THP and avoided races that way.  While the patch was
      showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is
      marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from
      scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have
      taken place since the patch was first written and tested.  This patch
      partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca "mm: compaction: capture a suitable
      high-order page immediately when it is made available".

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "People are back from the holiday breaks, and it shows.  Here are a
        bunch of fixes for a number of platforms:
         - A couple of small fixes for Nomadik
         - A larger set of changes for kirkwood/mvebu
           - uart driver selection, dt clocks, gpio-poweroff fixups, a few
             __init annotation fixes and some error handling improvement in
             their xor dma driver.
         - i.MX had a couple of minor fixes (and a critical one for flexcan2
           clock setup)
         - MXS has a small board fix and a framebuffer bugfix
         - A set of fixes for Samsung Exynos, fixing default bootargs and some
           Exynos5440 clock issues
         - A set of OMAP changes including PM fixes and a few sparse warning
           fixups
      
        All in all a bit more positive code delta than we'd ideally want to
        see here, mostly from the OMAP PM changes, but nothing overly crazy."
