[PATCH] mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and nopages were isolated -fix2

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Sep 27 2012 - 08:06:20 EST


The clearing of PG_migrate_skip potentially takes a long time if the
zone is massive. Be safe and check if it needs to reschedule.

This is a fix for
mm-compaction-cache-if-a-pageblock-was-scanned-and-no-pages-were-isolated.patch
