[PATCH v2 0/1][SRU][N/P] System hangs when running the memory stress test

[AceLan Kao]

[Impact]
While running the memory stress test, the system becomes unresponsive.

[Fix]
The commit from linux-next fixes the issue
19c5fb83f2a4 mm: page_alloc: avoid kswapd thrashing due to NUMA restrictions

[Test]
Run the following command on the machine
   sudo stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout 300 --mmapmany 0
It should finish the test in 5mins.

[Where problems could occur]
Given that the patch was reviewed and tested by multiple experienced
kernel developers, the likelihood of it causing a noticeable regression is
very low. It is far more likely to improve performance and stability on
NUMA systems under the conditions described in the commit message.
