Re: [PATCH V3 1/2] mm: hotplug: implement non-movable version ofget_user_pages() called get_user_pages_non_movable()
From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu

Hi Lin,
IMHO, current implementation depends on luck. So even if system has
many non movable memory, get_user_pages_non_movable() may not allocate
non movable memory.
At following thread, Marek Szyprowski implemented similar feature which
allocates non movable memory by "get_user_pages()".
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/5/44
I think Marek's way is better.
Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu

Hi Andrew, Mel and other guys,
How about this V3 patch, any comments?

get_user_pages() always tries to allocate pages from movable zone, which is not
reliable to memory hotremove framework in some case.
This patch introduces a new library function called get_user_pages_non_movable()
to pin pages only from zone non-movable in memory.
It's a wrapper of get_user_pages() but it makes sure that all pages come from
non-movable zone via additional page migration. But if migration fails it
will at least keep the base functionality of get_user_pages().
