Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] Do not unconditionally treat zones that fail
 zone_reclaim() as full

Ok this patch addresses a bug in zone reclaim introduced by Paul Jackson
in commit 9276b1bc96a132f4068fdee00983c532f43d3a26. Before that commit
zone reclaim would not mark a zone as full if it failed but simply
continue scanning.
