Vlastimil Babka e1275a6b2d Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock" 
commit 95e7a450b8 upstream.

This reverts commit 7efc3b7261.

We have got openSUSE reports (Link 1) for 6.1 kernel with khugepaged
stalling CPU for long periods of time.  Investigation of tracepoint data
shows that compaction is stuck in repeating fast_find_migrateblock()
based migrate page isolation, and then fails to migrate all isolated
pages.

Commit 7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
was suspected as it was merged in 6.1 and in theory can indeed remove a
termination condition for fast_find_migrateblock() under certain
conditions, as it removes a place that always marks a scanned pageblock
from being re-scanned.  There are other such places, but those can be
skipped under certain conditions, which seems to match the tracepoint
data.

Testing of revert also appears to have resolved the issue, thus revert
the commit until a more robust solution for the original problem is
developed.

It's also likely this will fix qemu stalls with 6.1 kernel reported in
Link 2, but that is not yet confirmed.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
