Mel Gorman b969c4ab9f mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.
