Eric said we also need a patch to add __GFP_NORETRY, right?
Probably before this one in series.

Nope, this __GFP_NORETRY has nothing to do with this.

I am not yet convinced we want it.

This needs mm guys advice, as its a tradeoff for mm layer more than
networking...

Well maybe Cc linux-mm then?

Well, I do not care of people mlocking the memory and complaining that
compaction does not work.

If these people care, they should contact mm guys, eventually.

Really this is an issue that has nothing to do with this patch set.
