Do you see my old patch? The patch want't incomplet but it's not bad for showing an idea.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ typo : wasn't completeI think your idea is eligible. Wu's approach may increase throughput butYes. it doesn't change many subtle things and make much fair but the Wu's concern is order-0 pages with __GFP_NORETRY.
