After several people reported OOM's for order-2 allocations in 4.7 due to
Michal Hocko's OOM rework, he reverted the part that considered compaction
feedback [1] in the decisions to retry reclaim/compaction. This was to provide
a fix quickly for 4.8 rc and 4.7 stable series, while mmotm had an almost
complete solution that instead improved compaction reliability.

This series completes the mmotm solution and reintroduces the compaction
feedback into OOM decisions. The first two patches restore the state of mmotm
before the temporary solution was merged, the last patch should be the missing
piece for reliability. The third patch restricts the hardened compaction to
non-costly orders, since costly orders don't result in OOMs in the first place.

Some preliminary testing suggested that this approach should work, but I would
like to ask all who experienced the regression to please retest this. You will
need to apply this series on top of tag mmotm-2016-08-31-16-06 from the mmotm
git tree [2]. Thanks in advance!
