mm, compaction: make sure we isolate a valid PFN
When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(),
triggered by kswapd).
Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may end
up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid page. This
could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below, due to an
invalid mem_section pointer.

The issue was reported on an arm64 server with 128GB with holes in the
zone (e.g, [32GB@4GB, 96GB@544GB]), with a swap device enabled, while
running 100 KVM guest instances.
This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that the page belongs to a valid
PFN when we fallback to using the lower limit of the scan range upon
failure in fast_isolate_freepages().

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer: zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page)) Which is silly, because it unfolds to this: &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock while we can simply do &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.

mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details. A
closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

mm, compaction: be selective about what pageblocks to clear skip hints
Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets with no free pages. As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit. Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned unnecessarily on x86-64. The impact is variable with different workloads showing small differences in latency, success rates and scan rates. This is expected as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is generally a good thing.

mm, compaction: sample pageblocks for free pages
Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier. This
patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages. The
more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
until a pageblock with free pages is found. The scanners might meet
slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
of the free scanner accordingly.

mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target
As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction targets. Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails. This patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets. The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full instead of being properly packed. Previous testing had indicated that without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free scanner without this patch.

mm, compaction: reduce premature advancement of the migration target scanner
The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
the free list. The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block(). When the
fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
low-order free pages. This can cause the migration source/target
scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.
This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
responsibility of updating that information in the callers. The fast
scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
pageblock is full or nearly full. The linear scanner will update
skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
scanned. The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
search.

mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention
Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled. This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator. This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.
The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated. It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.

mm, compaction: keep cached migration PFNs synced for unusable pageblocks
Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode. However, if the cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not matter. This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock with isolation candidates is found. The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless work. Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted recently.

mm, compaction: check early for huge pages encountered by the migration scanner
When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late after a lot of setup and checking. This patch short-cuts the check to make it earlier. It might still change when the lock is acquired but this has less overhead overall. The free scanner advances but the migration scanner does not. Typically the free scanner encounters more movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its portion of the physical address space with data. This could change in the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and incurred fewer scan restarts. The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by 3.3%. The 2-socket results are not materially different.

mm, compaction: finish pageblock scanning on contention
Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active. The
consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
sources behind.
This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs. When
it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
that block and then abort. This will have a variable impact on latency
as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
latency).

mm, compaction: avoid rescanning the same pageblock multiple times
Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner. Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete. The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times. Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.
This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned. If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation. This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping. On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit. A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.
The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case. When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration target
Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
quickly locate a migration target. The search is different in that
lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
the search is still bound. This is justified on the grounds that the
free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
scanner.
If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
enough pages were isolated. For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
skipping in the near future.

mm, compaction: keep migration source private to a single compaction instance
Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
for migration. This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
all the others. It also allows a race between requests on which first
allocates the resulting free block.
This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
scanner carefully. When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
the block is already in use. Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
exclusive use. Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range. While
this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration source
The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space. Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate. These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.
The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP. It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block. The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails. After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page. If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.
If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases. Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock
When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock. Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future. The pageblock skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned. The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in scanning. Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern. However, full scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

mm, compaction: drain pcps for zone when kcompactd fails
It's possible for free pages to become stranded on per-cpu pagesets
(pcps) that, if drained, could be merged with buddy pages on the zone's
free area to form large order pages, including up to MAX_ORDER.
Consider a verbose example using the tools/vm/page-types tool at the
beginning of a ZONE_NORMAL ('B' indicates a buddy page and 'S' indicates
a slab page). Pages on pcps do not have any page flags set.

The compaction migration scanner is attempting to defragment this memory
since it is at the beginning of the zone. It has done so quite well,
all movable pages have been migrated. From pfn [0x109955, 0x109fab),
there are only buddy pages and pages without flags set.
These pages may be stranded on pcps that could otherwise allow this
memory to be coalesced if freed back to the zone free area. It is
possible that some of these pages may not be on pcps and that something
has called alloc_pages() and used the memory directly, but we rely on
the absence of __GFP_MOVABLE in these cases to allocate from
MIGATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try to keep these MIGRATE_MOVABLE
pageblocks as free as possible.
These buddy and pcp pages, spanning 1,621 pages, could be coalesced and
allow for three transparent hugepages to be dynamically allocated.
Running the numbers for all such spans on the system, it was found that
there were over 400 such spans of only buddy pages and pages without
flags set at the time this /proc/kpageflags sample was collected.
Without this support, there were _no_ order-9 or order-10 pages free.
When kcompactd fails to defragment memory such that a cc.order page can
be allocated, drain all pcps for the zone back to the buddy allocator so
this stranding cannot occur. Compaction for that order will
subsequently be deferred, which acts as a ratelimit on this drain.

mm, compaction: remove unneeded pageblock_skip_persistent() checks
Commit f3c931633a59 ("mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs
pageblocks") has introduced pageblock_skip_persistent() checks into
migration and free scanners, to make sure pageblocks that should be
persistently skipped are marked as such, regardless of the
ignore_skip_hint flag.
Since the previous patch introduced a new no_set_skip_hint flag, the
ignore flag no longer prevents marking pageblocks as skipped. Therefore
we can remove the special cases. The relevant pageblocks will be marked
as skipped by the common logic which marks each pageblock where no page
could be isolated. This makes the code simpler.

mm, compaction: extend pageblock_skip_persistent() to all compound pages
pageblock_skip_persistent() checks for HugeTLB pages of pageblock order. When clearing pageblock skip bits for compaction, the bits are not cleared for such pageblocks, because they cannot contain base pages suitable for migration, nor free pages to use as migration targets. This optimization can be simply extended to all compound pages of order equal or larger than pageblock order, because migrating such pages (if they support it) cannot help sub-pageblock fragmentation. This includes THP's and also gigantic HugeTLB pages, which the current implementation doesn't persistently skip due to a strict pageblock_order equality check and not recognizing tail pages. While THP pages are generally less "persistent" than HugeTLB, we can still expect that if a THP exists at the point of __reset_isolation_suitable(), it will exist also during the subsequent compaction run. The time difference here could be actually smaller than between a compaction run that sets a (non-persistent) skip bit on a THP, and the next compaction run that observes it.

mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs pageblocks
It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order. No defragmentation is occurring in this condition. It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock where a hugetlb page is pinned. Unconditionally skip these pageblocks, and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned. It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages are freed. This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

mm, compaction: kcompactd should not ignore pageblock skip
Kcompactd is needlessly ignoring pageblock skip information. It is doing MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction, which is no more powerful than MIGRATE_SYNC compaction. If compaction recently failed to isolate memory from a set of pageblocks, there is nothing to indicate that kcompactd will be able to do so, or that it is beneficial from attempting to isolate memory. Use the pageblock skip hint to avoid rescanning pageblocks needlessly until that information is reset.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm,compaction: serialize waitqueue_active() checks (for real)
Andrea brought to my attention that the L->{L,S} guarantees are
completely bogus for this case. I was looking at the diagram, from the
offending commit, when that _is_ the race, we had the load reordered
already.
What we need is at least S->L semantics, thus simply use
wq_has_sleeper() to serialize the call for good.

mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when possible. Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block. Instead there might be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase long-term fragmentation. To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even though the high-order page already exists. Note that it might be possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that. This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in a migratetype fallback. (Async compaction also eagerly skips order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.) As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be reduced. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 20%.

mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype
The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks. This is a heuristic intended to reduce latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are unlikely to contain movable pages. However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are not movable. Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse. This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the requested migratetype. If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need for a fallback. If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore this restriction. In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks by 30%. The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by 12%.

mm, compaction: remove redundant watermark check in compact_finished()
When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own search for a suitable page in the freelists. This is not ideal for two reasons: - The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages. - The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages. Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and it terminates. This patch therefore removes the watermark check. This should save some cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

mm/compaction: ignore block suitable after check large free page
By reviewing code, I find that if the migrate target is a large free page and we ignore suitable, it may splite large target free page into smaller block which is not good for defrag. So move the ignore block suitable after check large free page. As Vlastimil pointed out in RFC version that this patch is just based on logical analyses which might be better for future-proofing the function and it is most likely won't have any visible effect right now, for direct compaction shouldn't have to be called if there's a >=pageblock_order page already available.
