In current do_migrate_pages(),if from_nodes and to_nodes have some intersect nodes,pages in these intersect nodes will also be migrated. eg. Assume that, from_nodes: 1,2,3,4 to_nodes: 2,3,4,5. Then these migrates will happen: migrate_pages(4,5); migrate_pages(3,4); migrate_pages(2,3); migrate_pages(1,2); But the user just want all pages in from_nodes move to to_nodes, only migrate(1,2)(ignore the intersect nodes.) can satisfied the user's request. I amn't sure what's migrate_page's semantic. Hoping for your suggestions.
