Hi Andrew,
I guess the reason this patch has been dropped is due to
mm-oom-prevent-pre-mature-oom-killer-invocation-for-high-order-request.patch.

Yes.  And I think we're still waiting testing feedback from the
reporters on
mm-oom-prevent-pre-mature-oom-killer-invocation-for-high-order-request.patch?

I guess we will wait for the above patch to get to Linus, revert it in mmotm
and re-apply
mm-compaction-more-reliably-increase-direct-compaction-priority.patch
again, right?

I suppose so.  We can leave
mm-oom-prevent-pre-mature-oom-killer-invocation-for-high-order-request.patch
in place in mainline for 4.8 so it can be respectably backported into
-stable.

And we may as well fold
mm-compaction-more-reliably-increase-direct-compaction-priority.patch
into the patch which re-adds should_compact_retry()?
