Hi Mel Gorman, thanks for your reply.
I see the fix patch, it fix this bug by abandon alloc bulk feature when page_owner is set.
But in my opinion, it can't really fix this bug, it's a circumvention plan.

My patch just split the prep_new_page page_gfp into alloc_gfp(for alloc bulk is GFP_ATOMIC,
for other's no change) and trace page gfp. So, we will not use the error way to get memory.
So, I think this will not affect alloc bulk performance when page_owner is on(compare with origin patch) but
can really fix this bug rather than evade.
And this patch can let alloc bulk feature and page_owner feature work togher
So, I will send patch again based on the fix patch.
Thank you
Yang Huan

Yes, it's a circumvention plan for reasons as laid out in the changelog.

Your fix should revert the workaround. Also your changelog should note
that in some cases that PAGE_OWNER information will be lost if the
GFP_ATOMIC allocation from bulk allocation context fails.
