Re: [PATCH] mm: mempolicy: keep VMA walk if both MPOL_MF_STRICT and MPOL_MF_MOVE are specified

When calling mbind() with MPOL_MF_{MOVE|MOVEALL} | MPOL_MF_STRICT,
kernel should attempt to migrate all existing pages, and return -EIO if
there is misplaced or unmovable page. Then commit 6f4576e3687b
("mempolicy: apply page table walker on queue_pages_range()") messed up
the return value and didn't break VMA scan early ianymore when MPOL_MF_STRICT
alone. The return value problem was fixed by commit a7f40cfe3b7a
("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified"),
but it broke the VMA walk early if unmovable page is met, it may cause some
pages are not migrated as expected.
The code should conceptually do:
if (MPOL_MF_MOVE|MOVEALL)
scan all vmas
try to migrate the existing pages
return success
else if (MPOL_MF_MOVE* | MPOL_MF_STRICT)
scan all vmas
try to migrate the existing pages
return -EIO if unmovable or migration failed
else /* MPOL_MF_STRICT alone */
break early if meets unmovable and don't call mbind_range() at all
else /* none of those flags */
check the ranges in test_walk, EFAULT without mbind_range() if discontig.
Fixed the behavior.
Forgot the fixes.
Fixes: a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when
MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified")
