In isolate_migratepages_block, when cc->alloc_contig is true, we are able to isolate compound pages, nr_migratepages and nr_isolated did not count compound pages correctly, causing us to isolate more pages than we thought. Use thp_nr_pages to count pages. Otherwise, we might be trapped in too_many_isolated while loop, since the actual isolated pages can go up to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX*512=16384, where COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX is 32, since we stop isolation after cc->nr_migratepages reaches to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX.
In addition, after we fix the issue above, cc->nr_migratepages could never be equal to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX if compound pages are isolated, thus page isolation could not stop as we intended. Change the isolation stop condition to >=.
The issue can be triggered as follows: In a system with 16GB memory and an 8GB CMA region reserved by hugetlb_cma, if we first allocate 10GB THPs and mlock them (so some THPs are allocated in the CMA region and mlocked), reserving 6 1GB hugetlb pages via /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages will get stuck (looping in too_many_isolated function) until we kill either task. With the patch applied, oom will kill the application with 10GB THPs and let hugetlb page reservation finish.
