Subject[PATCH v4 1/4] mm,page_alloc: Bail out earlier on -ENOMEM in alloc_contig_migrate_range
Date
Currently, __alloc_contig_migrate_range can generate -EINTR, -ENOMEM or -EBUSY,
and report them down the chain.
The problem is that when migrate_pages() reports -ENOMEM, we keep going till we
exhaust all the try-attempts (5 at the moment) instead of bailing out.

migrate_pages bails out right away on -ENOMEM because it is considered a fatal
error. Do the same here instead of keep going and retrying.
