I hope this patch fixes the bug. If this patch fixes the problem
but has some problem about description or someone has better idea,
feel free to modify and resend to akpm, Please.

A full revert is overkill. Can the following patch be tested as a
potential replacement please?

---8<---
mm: compaction: Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_freepages_range() -fix1

CMA is reported to be broken in next-20120926. Minchan Kim pointed out
that this was due to nr_scanned != total_isolated in the case of CMA
because PageBuddy pages are one scan but many isolations in CMA. This
patch should address the problem.

This patch is a fix for
mm-compaction-acquire-the-zone-lock-as-late-as-possible-fix-2.patch

Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>

linux-next + this patch alone also works for me.

Tested-by: Peter Ujfalusi <redacted>

Thanks Peter. I expect it also works for Thierry as I expect you were
suffering the same problem but obviously confirmation of that would be nice.

Andrew, can you pick up this version of the patch instead of Minchan's
revert?

Thanks Minchan for pointing out the obvious flaw in "mm: compaction:
Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_freepages_range()".
