Things aren't happy with that patch at all.

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.5.0-rc1+ #50 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
trinity-child1/31784 is trying to acquire lock:
(&(&zone->lock)->rlock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff81165c5d>] suitable_migration_target.isra.15+0x19d/0x1e0

but task is already holding lock:
(&(&zone->lock)->rlock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff811661fb>] compaction_alloc+0x21b/0x2f0

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0
----
lock(&(&zone->lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&zone->lock)->rlock);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by trinity-child1/31784:
#0: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8115fc46>] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x66/0xb0
#1: (&(&zone->lock)->rlock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff811661fb>] compaction_alloc+0x21b/0x2f0

Then a bunch of NMI backtraces, and a hard lockup.
