Thanks for comment.

Additinally, I find that migrate_huge_pages() is needed identical fix
as migrate_pages().

@@ -1029,6 +1030,7 @@ int migrate_huge_pages(struct list_head *from,

        for (pass = 0; pass < 10 && retry; pass++) {
                retry = 0;
+               nr_failed = 0;

                list_for_each_entry_safe(page, page2, from, lru) {
                        cond_resched();

When I resend with this, could I include "Acked-by: Christoph Lameter
