[PATCH] migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry

From: Huang Ying
Date: Sun Apr 16 2023 - 20:01:59 EST


In commit fd4a7ac32918 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split is failed
due to page refcnt"), if the THP splitting fails due to page reference
count, we will retry to improve migration successful rate. But the
failed splitting is counted as migration failure and migration retry,
which will cause duplicated failure counting. So, in this patch, this
is fixed via undoing the failure counting if we decide to retry. The
patch is tested via failure injection.
