Hi Greg. Just a heads up that likely isn't needed, as the change

likely do the right thing automatically. But just to be sure:

I'm pretty sure Vlastimil would be extremely happy if you include
95e7a450b819 ("Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"") [was merged ~2 hours ago] in the next 6.1.y
release, as he in [1] wrote:
