3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Rientjes <rient...@google.com>
commit aeef4b83806f49a0c454b7d4578671b71045bee2 upstream.
Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave(). This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.
If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock
scan for async compaction as well.
