mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility fix

CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION shouldn't be selecting options that may not be 
supported, so make it depend on memory compaction rather than selecting 
it.  CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled by default for all configs that support 
it.

This is already addressed at v12 revision which is on mmtom queue already.

Ah, it was merged yesterday but it depends on TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE rather 
than COMPACTION.  Why?  Surely thp is not the only thing that benefits 
from keeping memory defragmented for high-order allocs.

Ping on this?  The direct question was why depend on TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE 
rather than COMPACTION, i.e. why do only order-9 allocations benefit from 
defragmented memory rather than all high order allocations?

Thanks.

Ugh, I missed this one on the mail pile.

That's a nice feature for all system, indeed. I'd say you're 100% right. Would
you mind in submitting the change?

Thanks David, and sorry sorry for the late reply.

[patch] mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility fix

[David Rientjes]

It's useful to keep memory defragmented so that all high-order page 
allocations have a chance to succeed, not simply transparent hugepages.  
Thus, allow balloon compaction for any system with memory compaction 
enabled, which is the defconfig.
