[PATCH 5/6] mm: migrate: don't split THP for misplaced NUMA page

From: Yang Shi
Date: Mon Mar 29 2021 - 14:34:32 EST


The old behavior didn't split THP if migration is failed due to lack of
memory on the target node. But the THP migration does split THP, so keep
the old behavior for misplaced NUMA page migration.
