mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim
instances have isolated too many pages. This makes no sense, excessive
parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion.
This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many
pages are isolated. The throttled tasks are woken when the number of
isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs. There may be some false
positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will
throttle again if necessary.
[shy828301@gmail.com: Wake up from compaction context]
[vbabka@suse.cz: Account number of throttled tasks only for writeback]
