No. I tested linux-next-20170221 which does not include your patch.
I didn't test linux-next-20170221 with your patch applied. Your patch will
avoid infinite too_many_isolated() loop problem in shrink_inactive_list().
But we need to test different workloads by other people. Thus, I suggest
you to send your patches to linux-next without my testing.
