OK. thanks.
I plan to submit this patch after small more tests. it is useful for OOM analysis.

It is also useful for throttling page reclaim.

If more than half of the inactive pages in a zone are
isolated, we are probably beyond the point where adding
additional reclaim processes will do more harm than good.
