[PATCH v3 1/2] mm/migrate: correct nr_failed in migrate_pages_sync()

From: Zi Yan
Date: Tue Oct 17 2023 - 12:31:48 EST


From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

nr_failed was missing the large folio splits 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.

Fix it by adding a new nr_split counter for large folio splits and adding
it to nr_failed in migrate_page_sync() after migrate_pages_batch() is
done.

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