I believe we found a problem when investigating over-reclaim in this
thread [1] where it seems madvised THP allocation attempt can result in
4MB reclaimed, if there is a small zone such as ZONE_DMA on the node. As
it happens, the patch "[patch 090/134] mm, reclaim: make
should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection" in Andrew's pile
should change this 4MB to 32 pages reclaimed (as a side-effect), but
that has to be tested. I'm also working on a patch to not reclaim even
those few pages. Of course there might be more fundamental issues with
reclaim/compaction interaction, but this one seems to become hopefully
clear now.
