I'm noticing this patch introduces a bunch of noise. What is the
reason for getting rid of compact_unlock_should_abort? It seems like
you just open coded it here. If there is some sort of issue with it
then it might be better to replace it as part of a preparatory patch
before you introduce this one as changes like this make it harder to
review.

It might make more sense to look at modifying
compact_unlock_should_abort and compact_lock_irqsave (which always
returns true so should probably be a void) to address the deficiencies
they have that make them unusable for you.

So this bit makes things a bit complicated. From what I can can tell
the comment about exclusive access under the lock is supposed to apply
to the pageblock via the lru_lock. However you are having to retest
the lock for each page because it is possible the page was moved to
another memory cgroup while the lru_lock was released correct? So in
this case is the lru vector lock really providing any protection for
the skip_updated portion of this code block if the lock isn't
exclusive to the pageblock? In theory this would probably make more
sense to have protected the skip bits under the zone lock, but I
imagine that was avoided due to the additional overhead.

I was going through the code of the entire patch set and I noticed
these changes in move_pages_to_lru. What is the reason for adding the
new_lruvec logic? My understanding is that we are moving the pages to
the lruvec provided are we not?If so why do we need to add code to get
a new lruvec? The code itself seems to stand out from the rest of the
patch as it is introducing new code instead of replacing existing
locking code, and it doesn't match up with the description of what
this function is supposed to do since it changes the lruvec.
