SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/4] Fix compaction stalls due to accounting errors in isolated page accounting
Hi there ...

I applied these patches to 2.6.38.8 and it run for nearly a month
without any problems. Even Though I did not check nr_isolated_*.
As (at least) patch3 made it into 2.6.39.3 I did not apply the
others any more. And it occurred again this morning:


sysload at 2, iowait at 80% on an idle (single core) system


$ grep nr_isolated /proc/zoneinfo /proc/vmstat
/proc/zoneinfo: nr_isolated_anon 0
/proc/zoneinfo: nr_isolated_file 1
/proc/zoneinfo: nr_isolated_anon 0
/proc/zoneinfo: nr_isolated_file 4294967295
/proc/zoneinfo: nr_isolated_anon 0
/proc/zoneinfo: nr_isolated_file 0
/proc/vmstat:nr_isolated_anon 0
/proc/vmstat:nr_isolated_file 0

I captured several SysRq-* logs, in case they're of interest.
