Greetings,

FYI, this commit seem to fix a boot hang problem here.

commit 6e543d5780e36ff5ee56c44d7e2e30db3457a7ed
Author: Lisa Du <cldu@marvell.com>

    mm: vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() livelock


        [    1.394871] pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device
        [    1.395883] PCI: CLS 0 bytes, default 64

In parent commit, it will hang right here.

With this commit, it will continue to emit the below OOM messages
(which is not a surprise to me because the boot test runs in a small
memory KVM and the kconfig builds in lots of drivers).
