Description:
		When this file is written to, all memory within that node
		will be compacted. When it completes, memory will be freed
		into blocks which have as many contiguous pages as possible
mm: compaction: add /sys trigger for per-node memory compaction Add a per-node sysfs file called compact. When the file is written to, each zone in that node is compacted. The intention that this would be used by something like a job scheduler in a batch system before a job starts so that the job can allocate the maximum number of hugepages without significant start-up cost.
