Above you changed the reset value of kswapd_classzone_idx from 0 to -1,
so won't this trigger? Also should we check kswapd_order that's newly
reset too?

Is the last word really meant to be "reclaimed", or "requested"?

AFAICS now kswapd_try_to_sleep() will use the "requested" order. That's
needed for proper wakeup_kcompactd(), but won't it prevent kswapd from
actually going to sleep, because zone_balanced() in prepare-sleep will
be false? So I think you need to give it both orders to do the right thing?
