[PATCH v2 06/12] mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Mon Nov 07 2016 - 19:31:54 EST


This patch makes it possible to support thp migration gradually. If you fail
to allocate a destination page as a thp, you just split the source thp as we
do now, and then enter the normal page migration. If you succeed to allocate
destination thp, you enter thp migration. Subsequent patches actually enable
thp migration for each caller of page migration by allowing its get_new_page()
callback to allocate thps.
