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?

yes

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()?

I am not sure combining those two into a single patch would be better.
It is true it would be bisect safe but those patches are not really
related because there are other changes for the compaction improvements
which already made a difference. This one is merely yet-another-change
on top. Let me think about that, though.
