Okay, whatever. I was about to say
Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
With my signed-off-by there, someone will ask if it should say
"From: Hugh ..." at the top: no, it should not, this is Alex's patch,
but I proposed some fixes to it, as you already acknowledged.
A couple of comments below on the mm/vmscan.c part of it.

So here you do deal with that BUG() issue. But I'd prefer you to leave
it as I suggested in 16/32, just start with "int ret = -EBUSY;" and
don't rearrange the checks here at all. I say that partly because
the !PageLRU check is very important (when called for compaction), and
the easier it is to find (at the very start), the less anxious I get!

It's a long time since I read a C manual. I had to try that out in a
little test program: and it does seem to do the right thing. Maybe
I'm just very ignorant, and everybody else finds that natural: but I'd
feel more comfortable with the busy label on the line after the
"case -EBUSY:" - wouldn't you?
You could, of course, change that "case -EBUSY" to "default",
and delete the "default: BUG();" that follows: whatever you prefer.

Aha. Yes, I like that change, I'm not going to throw a tantrum,
accusing you of sneaking in unrelated changes etc. You made me look
back at the history: it was "continue" from back in the days of
lumpy reclaim, when there was stuff after the switch statement
which needed to be skipped in the -EBUSY case. "break" looks
more natural to me now.
