Zhaoyang Huang 5da226dbfc mm: skip CMA pages when they are not available
This patch fixes unproductive reclaiming of CMA pages by skipping them
when they are not available for current context.  It arises from the below
OOM issue, which was caused by a large proportion of MIGRATE_CMA pages
among free pages.

[   36.172486] [03-19 10:05:52.172] ActivityManager: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xc00(GFP_NOIO), nodemask=(null),cpuset=foreground,mems_allowed=0

[   36.234459] [03-19 10:05:52.234] node 0: slabs: 53,objs: 3392, free: 0

This change further decreases the chance for wrong OOMs in the presence
of a lot of CMA memory.

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.
