mm: compaction: fix echo 1 > compact_memory return error issue
when run the folloing command under shell, it will return error sh/$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory sh/$ sh: write error: Bad address After strace, I found the following log: ... write(1, "1\n", 2) = 3 write(1, "", 4294967295) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) write(2, "echo: write error: Bad address\n", 31echo: write error: Bad address ) = 31 This tells system return 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) after write data to compact_memory. The fix is to make the system just return 0 instead 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) from sysctl_compaction_handler after compaction_nodes finished.
