This forces a page fault upon access on the destination node and the page is swapped back in from swap cache. The fault is forced by the migration swap entry, rather than fault being an accidental event. If page fault happens on the destination node while migration is in progress, do_swap_page() waits until migration is done.

I have run extensive tests migrating pages of a process across multiple NUMA nodes over and over again and ADI tags were never lost, so this does work. I won't rule out the possibility of having missed a code path where tags are not restored and I will look for it. > > Anthony, > > I just ran my migration test again which: > > - malloc's 16 GB of memory > - Assigns a rotating ADI tag every 64 bytes to the malloc'd buffer > - Writes a pattern to the entire buffer > - Verifies the pattern it wrote using ADI tagged addresses. The verification will appear to succeed if the tags have been cleared. To be complete the test should also manually verify that the in-memory tag values remain non-zero after migration. migrate_page_copy() will call copy_huge_page() or copy_highpage() which will result in the tags being cleared at the destination because the stores will be done to kernel physical mapping VAs using block initializing stores.
