Subject[PATCH] mm: check zone->all_unreclaimable in all_unreclaimable()
Date
Check zone->all_unreclaimable in all_unreclaimable(), otherwise the
kernel may hang up, because shrink_zones() will do nothing, but
all_unreclaimable() will say, that zone has reclaimable pages.

do_try_to_free_pages()
shrink_zones()
for_each_zone
if (zone->all_unreclaimable)
continue
if !all_unreclaimable(zonelist, sc)
return 1

__alloc_pages_slowpath()
retry:
did_some_progress = do_try_to_free_pages(page)
...
if (!page && did_some_progress)
retry;
