Subject: [PATCH RFC 28/37] mm: sched: Introduce PF_MEMALLOC_ISOLATE
On arm64, when reserving tag storage for an allocated page, if the tag
storage is in use, the tag storage must be migrated before it can be
reserved. As part of the migration process, the tag storage block is
first isolated.
Compaction also isolates the source pages before migrating them. If the
target for compaction requires metadata pages to be reserved, those
metadata pages might also need to be isolated, which, in rare
circumstances, can lead to the threshold in too_many_isolated() being
reached, and isolate_migratepages_pageblock() will get stuck in an infinite
loop.
Add the flag PF_MEMALLOC_ISOLATE for the current thread, which makes
too_many_isolated() ignore the threshold to make forward progress in
isolate_migratepages_pageblock().
For consistency, the similarly named function too_many_isolated() called
during reclaim has received the same treatment.
