Subject[PATCH v2 0/5] compaction related commits
Date
changes for v2
o include more experiment data in cover letter
o deal with vlastimil's comments mostly about commit description on 4/5

This patchset is related to the compaction.

patch 1 fixes contrary implementation of the purpose of compaction.
patch 2~4 are for optimization.
patch 5 is just for clean-up.

I tested this patchset with stress-highalloc benchmark on Mel's mmtest
and cannot find any regression in terms of success rate. And I find
much reduced(9%) elapsed time.

Below is the average result of 10 runs on my 4GB quad core system.

compaction-base+ is based on 3.13.0 with Vlastimil's recent fixes.
compaction-fix+ has this patch series on top of compaction-base+.

Thanks.
