Re: [PATCH 1/3] mm/migrate: clean up useless code in migrate_vma_collect_pmd()

This needs something beyond the subject line. Maybe ...

After these assignments, we either restart the loop with a fresh variable,
or we assign to the variable again without using the value we've assigned.

After you've done all this, as far as I can tell, the 'pfn' variable is
only used in one arm of the conditions, so it can be moved there.

ie something like:

- unsigned long mpfn, pfn;
+ unsigned long mpfn;
...
- pfn = pte_pfn(pte);
...
+ unsigned long pfn = pte_pfn(pte);
