[PATCH] mm,hwpoison: Return -EBUSY when migration fails

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Wed Dec 09 2020 - 04:29:58 EST


Currently, we return -EIO when we fail to migrate the page.

Migrations' failures are rather transient as they can happen due to
several reasons, e.g: high page refcount bump, mapping->migrate_page
failing etc.
All meaning that at that time the page could not be migrated, but
that has nothing to do with an EIO error.

Let us return -EBUSY instead, as we do in case we failed to isolate
the page.

While are it, let us remove the "ret" print as its value does not change.
