[PATCH 1/1] mm/migrate: correct nr_failed in migrate_pages_sync()

From: Zi Yan
Date: Mon Oct 09 2023 - 16:32:50 EST


From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

nr_failed was missing the rc value from migrate_pages_batch() and can
cause a mismatch between migrate_pages() return value and the number of
not migrated pages, i.e., when the return value of migrate_pages() is 0,
there are still pages left in the from page list. It will happen when a
non-PMD THP large folio fails to migrate due to -ENOMEM and is split
successfully but not all the split pages are not migrated,
migrate_pages_batch() would return non-zero, but astats.nr_thp_split = 0.
nr_failed would be 0 and returned to the caller of migrate_pages(), but
the not migrated pages are left in the from page list without being added
back to LRU lists.

Fixes: 2ef7dbb26990 ("migrate_pages: try migrate in batch asynchronously firstly")
