Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction: Disable compact_unevictable_allowed on RT
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.4/older/patches-5.4.3-rt1.tar.xz
Since commit
5bbe3547aa3ba ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages for pages to compact by default.
On -RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few
100us to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.
Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and remove it from /proc on
RT.
