    mm, compaction: distinguish contended status in tracepoints · 2d1e1041

    Compaction returns prematurely with COMPACT_PARTIAL when contended or has
    fatal signal pending.  This is ok for the callers, but might be misleading
    in the traces, as the usual reason to return COMPACT_PARTIAL is that we
    think the allocation should succeed.  After this patch we distinguish the
    premature ending condition in the mm_compaction_finished and
    mm_compaction_end tracepoints.
    
    The contended status covers the following reasons:
    - lock contention or need_resched() detected in async compaction
    - fatal signal pending
    - too many pages isolated in the zone (only for async compaction)
    Further distinguishing the exact reason seems unnecessary for now.
