mm/compaction: respect cpusets when checking retry suitability
should_compact_retry() handles COMPACT_SKIPPED by asking
compaction_zonelist_suitable() whether reclaim can make a later compaction
attempt worthwhile. That answer is used for the current allocation, so it
should follow the same zone eligibility rules as the allocation itself.
When cpusets are enabled, allocator slowpath decisions are marked with
ALLOC_CPUSET. The allocation path, direct compaction and reclaim retry
all skip zones rejected by __cpuset_zone_allowed().
compaction_zonelist_suitable() does not apply that filter. It only walks
ac->zonelist/ac->nodemask, so it can return true because a zone that is
not usable for the current allocation would pass __compaction_suitable().
That does not let the allocation use the disallowed zone. Later
allocation and direct compaction paths still apply cpuset filtering.
However, it can make should_compact_retry() retry based on memory that
this allocation cannot use.
Pass gfp_mask down and apply the same ALLOC_CPUSET check in
compaction_zonelist_suitable(). This keeps the retry decision aligned
with the zones that the allocation is allowed to use.
A temporary debugfs probe was also used to call the old and new
compaction_zonelist_suitable() predicates in the same two-node NUMA guest.
The task was restricted to mems=0 while ac->nodemask covered nodes 0-1.
After putting pressure on node0, node0 failed __compaction_suitable() for
order-10 and node1 passed it, but node1 was rejected by
__cpuset_zone_allowed(). In that state the old predicate returned true
and the patched predicate returned false.
