HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 2MB or 1GB? THP are always that PMD order?

I do not see any locking or get_user_pages(), hidden somewhere?

Above 10 lines I cannot really comment due to my massive ignorance in
this area, especially about what lru_add_drain_all() and
mod_node_page_state() :(

migrate_allow seems useless, simply calling get_user_pages_fast() should
make the code easier to read imho. And the comment says
get_user_pages(), where does this guy hide?

Move this "drain_allow = true" right after "get_user_again:"?
