Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-page_alloc-fix-deferred-compaction-accounting.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:22:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609012227.E94961F00893@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix deferred compaction accounting
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_alloc-fix-deferred-compaction-accounting.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix deferred compaction accounting
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 09:12:48 +0000
COMPACT_DEFERRED means compaction did not start because past failures
caused the zone to be deferred. try_to_compact_pages() returns the
maximum result seen while walking the zonelist, so a final
COMPACT_DEFERRED result means no later zone reported that compaction
actually ran.
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() skips COMPACTSTALL and COMPACTFAIL
accounting when try_to_compact_pages() returns COMPACT_SKIPPED, but not
when it returns COMPACT_DEFERRED. A deferred-only direct compaction
attempt can therefore look like a stall, and then a failure if the
allocation still cannot be satisfied.
Treat COMPACT_DEFERRED like COMPACT_SKIPPED in this accounting path. If a
later zone runs compaction and returns a result above COMPACT_DEFERRED, or
compact_zone_order() reports COMPACT_SUCCESS for a captured page, the
final result is not COMPACT_DEFERRED and the existing accounting still
runs.
