Re: [RFC PATCH 0/3] mm/compaction: honour compact_unevictable_allowed in mlock race and alloc_contig path

[Lorenzo Stoakes <ljs@kernel.org>]

Errr... how does this relate to your other, non-RFC patch series [0] "mm: honour
compact_unevictable_allowed in mlock and CMA paths"?

Why did you send this separately and why do you not mention the other series
here or there?

And why is one RFC and the other not?

You really need to add more context like this, I spent quite a bit of time
reviewing [0] and don't want to find out that actually you are abandoning that
for this or something?...
