Vlastimil Babka figured out that when fragmentation score didn't go down across the proactive compaction i.e. when no progress is made, next wake up for proactive compaction is deferred for 1 << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT, i.e. 64 times, with each wakeup interval of HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC(=500). In each of this wakeup, it just decrement 'proactive_defer' counter and goes sleep i.e. it is getting woken to just decrement a counter. The same deferral time can also achieved by simply doing the HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC << COMPACT_MAX_DEFER_SHIFT thus unnecessary wakeup of kcompact thread is avoided thus also removes the need of 'proactive_defer' thread counter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
