The array contains valid values only if move_pages() did not return an error." And, it looks kernel just misbehaved since 4.17 due to the fixes commit, so it sounds like a regression too.

âOnly ifâ  in strictly logical term does not necessarily mean it must contain valid values if move_pages() succeed.
