[PATCH v3 0/8] mm: migrate: more folio conversion and unification

From: Kefeng Wang
Date: Wed Sep 13 2023 - 05:52:07 EST


Convert more migrate functions to use a folio, it is also a preparation
for large folio migration support when numa balance.

The patch 1~2 remove unexpected specific assert for PageTransHuge page.

The Patch 3~6 convert several more migration functions to use folio.
1) add_page_for_migration() used by move_pages
2) migrate_misplaced_page()/numamigrate_isolate_page()
used by numa balance

The patch 7 remove PageHead() check to make hugetlb to migrate the
entire hugetlb page instead of -EACCES errno return when
passed the address of a tail page.

The patch 8 cleanup to unify and simplify code a bit in
add_page_for_migration()

Thanks for all comments and suggestions from Matthew, Hugh, Zi, Mike, Huang.

v3:
- update changelog of patch1
- use folio_estimated_sharers and comment it in migrate_misplaced_folio()
- collect RB/ACK
- rebased on 6.6-rc1

v2:
- keep page_mapcount() check and remove specific assert for
PageTransHuge page.
- separate patch7 to migrate the entire hugetlb page if a tail page passed,
which unified the behavior between HUGETLB and THP when move_page().
