mm/compaction.c: periodically schedule when freeing pages We've been getting warnings about an excessive amount of time spent allocating pages for migration during memory compaction without scheduling. isolate_freepages_block() already periodically checks for contended locks or the need to schedule, but isolate_freepages() never does. When a zone is massively long and no suitable targets can be found, this iteration can be quite expensive without ever doing cond_resched(). Check periodically for the need to reschedule while the compaction free scanner iterates.
