David Rientjes b39d0ee263 mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed 
Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:

 - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
   migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
   starting at the end of a zone,

 - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
   for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
   migration, there must be *some* free memory available.  Per the above,
   watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
   find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
   even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
   no indication compaction can be successful), and

 - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
   run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
   be pointless.

For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.

Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.

It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory.  If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.
