[PATCH -V2 3/3] migrate_pages: try migrate in batch asynchronously firstly

From: Huang Ying
Date: Thu Mar 02 2023 - 22:02:50 EST


When we have locked more than one folios, we cannot wait the lock or
bit (e.g., page lock, buffer head lock, writeback bit) synchronously.
Otherwise deadlock may be triggered. This make it hard to batch the
synchronous migration directly.

This patch re-enables batching synchronous migration via trying to
migrate in batch asynchronously firstly. And any folios that are
failed to be migrated asynchronously will be migrated synchronously
one by one.

Test shows that this can restore the TLB flushing batching performance
for synchronous migration effectively.

Fixes: 5dfab109d519 ("migrate_pages: batch _unmap and _move")
