Merge tag 'mm-compaction-5.1-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux
Pull mm/compaction fixes from Mel Gorman:
"The merge window for 5.1 introduced a number of compaction-related
patches. with intermittent reports of corruption and functional
issues. The bugs are due to sloopy checking of zone boundaries and a
corner case where invalid indexes are used to access the free lists.
Reports are not common but at least two users and 0-day have tripped
over them. There is a chance that one of the syzbot reports are
related but it has not been confirmed properly.
The normal submission path is with Andrew but there have been some
delays and I consider them urgent enough that they should be picked up
before RC4 to avoid duplicate reports.
All of these have been successfully tested on older RC windows. This
will make this branch look like a rebase but in fact, they've simply
been lifted again from Andrew's tree and placed on a fresh branch.
I've no reason to believe that this has invalidated the testing given
the lack of change in compaction and the nature of the fixes"
