[Question]page allocation failure: order:2, mode:0x2000d1

[Yisheng Xie]

hi all,
I'm getting a 2-order page allocation failure problem on 4.1.18.
>From the Mem-info, it seems the system have much zero order free pages which can be used for memory compaction.
Is it possible that the memory compacted by current process used by other process soon, which cause page allocation failure of current process ?
