Weird patch 2 makes the large order allocation without ~__GFP_WAIT, so
even COMPACTION=y/n shouldn't matter anymore. Am I misreading
something Mel?
Removing ~__GFP_WAIT from patch 2 (and adding ~__GFP_REPEAT as a
correctness improvement) and setting COMPACTION=y also should work ok.
Removing ~__GFP_WAIT from patch 2 and setting COMPACTION=n is expected
not to work well.
But compaction should only make the difference if you remove
~__GFP_WAIT from patch 2.
