As Xiaojun reported the ltp of migrate_pages01 will failed on ARCH arm64 system whoes has 4 nodes[0...3], all have memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=2: migrate_pages01 0 TINFO : test_invalid_nodes migrate_pages01 14 TFAIL : migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1 migrate_pages01 15 TFAIL : migrate_pages_common.c:55: call succeeded unexpectedly In this case the test_invalid_nodes of migrate_pages01 will call: SYSC_migrate_pages as: migrate_pages(0, , {0x0000000000000001}, 64, , {0x0000000000000010}, 64) = 0 For MAX_NUMNODES is 4, so 0x10 nodemask will tread as empty set which makes nodes_subset(*new, node_states[N_MEMORY]) return true, as empty set is subset of any set. So this is a common issue which also can happens in X86_64 system eg. 8 nodes[0..7], all with memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=3. Fix it by adding node_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages.
