is incremented if the system tries to compact memory
but failed.
compact_pages_moved
is incremented each time a page is moved. If
this value is increasing rapidly, it implies that the system
is copying a lot of data to satisfy the huge page allocation.
It is possible that the cost of copying exceeds any savings
from reduced TLB misses.
compact_pagemigrate_failed
is incremented when the underlying mechanism
for moving a page failed.
compact_blocks_moved
is incremented each time memory compaction examines
a huge page aligned range of pages.
It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function
tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages_nodemask and
using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
