Thanks but I've already pushed an alternative patch towards Andrew for
this particular build problem. The patch explains why the fix is different.

mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated -fix

Fengguang Wu reported the following

tree:   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git since-3.5
head:   2f641f902ca76711e47e8d3b18004f0e46ca3d9b
commit: 7faeb2a39c789f1bac69014cc468677a60b73395 [184/186] mm:
compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated
config: i386-randconfig-b083 (attached as .config)

All error/warnings:

mm/compaction.c: In function 'isolation_suitable':
mm/compaction.c:60:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'get_pageblock_skip' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
mm/compaction.c: In function 'reset_isolation_suitable':
mm/compaction.c:94:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'clear_pageblock_skip' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
mm/compaction.c: In function 'update_pageblock_skip':
mm/compaction.c:108:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'set_pageblock_skip' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
mm/compaction.c: At top level:
mm/compaction.c:68:13: warning: 'reset_isolation_suitable' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
mm/compaction.c:177:13: warning: 'compact_capture_page' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Michal Hocko suggested implementing !CONFIG_COMPACTION versions of these
functions but that still leaves the dead version of
reset_isolation_suitable in the !CONFIG_COMPACTION && CONFIG_CMA case.
Create !CONFIG_COMPACTION versions of isolation_suitable() and
update_pageblock_skip() instead.

This is a fix for
mm-compaction-cache-if-a-pageblock-was-scanned-and-no-pages-were-isolated.patch
