Subject: [PATCHv2 0/8] mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory

The patchset addresses several issues related to unaccepted memory.

It replaces "mm: fix endless reclaim on machines with unaccepted
memory" commit which is in mm-unstable now.

The most severe issue is a kswapd hang, which is fixed by patch 1/8.

Pach 2/8 preparatory cleanup.

Patch 3/8 ensures that __alloc_pages_bulk() will not exhaust all
accepted memory without accepting more.

Patches 4/8-6/8 are preparations for patch 7/8, which fixes
alloc_config_page() on machines with unaccepted memory. This allows, for
example, the allocation of gigantic pages at runtime.

Patch 8/8 enable the kernel to accept memory up to the promo watermark.

I believe only the first patch deserves backporting.

Please review. Any feedback is welcome.

Kirill A. Shutemov (8):
  mm: Fix endless reclaim on machines with unaccepted memory
  mm: Reduce deferred struct page init ifdeffery
  mm: Accept memory in __alloc_pages_bulk().
  mm: Introduce PageUnaccepted() page type
  mm: Rework accept memory helpers
  mm: Add a helper to accept page
  mm: page_isolation: Handle unaccepted memory isolation
  mm: Accept to promo watermark
