[PATCH v9 6/7] mm: Make alloc_contig_range handle in-use hugetlb pages

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Fri Apr 16 2021 - 03:00:49 EST


alloc_contig_range() will fail if it finds a HugeTLB page within the range,
without a chance to handle them. Since HugeTLB pages can be migrated as any
LRU or Movable page, it does not make sense to bail out without trying.
Enable the interface to recognize in-use HugeTLB pages so we can migrate
them, and have much better chances to succeed the call.
