So I understand that patch 5 would be just about this?

- if (compaction_restarting(zone, cc->order) && !current_is_kcompactd())
+ if (compaction_restarting(zone, cc->order))
__reset_isolation_suitable(zone);

Yeah, you understand correctly. :)

I'm more inclined to fold it in that case.

Patch would be just simple, but, I guess it would cause some difference
in test result. But, I'm okay for folding.

Thanks. Andrew, should I send now patch folding patch 4/5 and 5/5 with all the accumulated fixlets (including those I sent earlier today) and combined changelog, or do you want to apply the new fixlets separately first and let them sit for a week or so? In any case, sorry for the churn.

Thanks.
