Mel Gorman 90ed667c03 Revert "Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock"" 
This reverts commit 95e7a450b8 ("Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"").

Commit 7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock") was reverted due to bug reports about khugepaged
consuming large amounts of CPU without making progress.  The underlying
bug was partially fixed by commit cfccd2e63e ("mm, compaction: finish
pageblocks on complete migration failure") but it only mitigated the
problem and Vlastimil Babka pointing out the same issue could
theoretically happen to kcompactd.

As pageblocks containing pages that fail to migrate should now be forcibly
rescanned to set the skip hint if skip hints are used,
fast_find_migrateblock() should no longer loop on a small subset of
pageblocks for prolonged periods of time.  Revert the revert so
fast_find_migrateblock() is effective again.

Using the mmtests config workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact, the number
of unique ranges scanned was analysed for both kcompactd and !kcompactd
activity.

      5 range=(0x886e00~0x887000)
      5 range=(0x88a400~0x88a600)
      6 range=(0x88f800~0x88fa00)
      9 range=(0x88a400~0x88a420)

Note that the vanilla kernel and the full series had some duplication of
ranges scanned but it was not severe and would be in line with compaction
resets when the skip hints are cleared.  Just a revert of commit
7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
showed excessive rescans of the same ranges so the series should not
reintroduce bug 1206848.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
