Subject[PATCH] vmscan: don't use return value trick when oom_killer_disabled
Date
M. Vefa Bicakci reported 2.6.35 kernel hang up when hibernation on his
32bit 3GB mem machine. (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16771)
Also he was bisected first bad commit is below

commit bb21c7ce18eff8e6e7877ca1d06c6db719376e3c

vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 reclaim failure

At first impression, this seemed very strange because the above commit only
chenged function return value and hibernate_preallocate_memory() ignore
return value of shrink_all_memory(). But it's related.

Now, page allocation from hibernation code may enter infinite loop if
the system has highmem.

The reasons are two. 1) hibernate_preallocate_memory() call
alloc_pages() wrong order 2) vmscan don't care enough OOM case when
oom_killer_disabled.

This patch only fix (2). Why is oom_killer_disabled so special?
because when hibernation case, zone->all_unreclaimable never be turned on.
hibernation freeze all tasks at first, then kswapd can't works in this
case, and zone->all_unreclaimable is only turned from kswapd.
