queue_pages_range() will check for unmapped holes besides queue pages for
migration. The rules for checking unmapped holes are:
1 Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be reported as
   EFAULT if mbind() for none MPOL_DEFAULT cases;
2 Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be ignored if
   mbind() for MPOL_DEFAULT case;
Note that the second rule is the current implementation, but it seems
conflicts the Linux API definition.

queue_pages_test_walk() is fixed by introduce new fields in struct
queue_pages which help to check:
1 holes at head and tail side of specified range;
2 the whole range is in a hole;

Besides, queue_pages_test_walk() must update previous vma record no matter
the current vma should be considered for queue pages or not.


More details about current issue (which breaks the mbind() API definition):
1. In queue_pages_test_walk()
checking on (!vma->vm_next && vma->vm_end < end) would never success,
because 'end' passed from walk_page_test() make sure "end <=  vma->vm_end". so hole
beyond the last vma can't be detected.

2. queue_pages_test_walk() only called for vma, and 'start', 'end' parameters are guaranteed
within vma. Then, if the range starting or ending in an unmapped hole,
queue_pages_test_walk() don't have chance to be called to check. In other words, the
current code can detect this case (range span over hole):
[  vma  ][ hole ][ vma]
    [     range      ]
but cant not detect these case :
[  vma  ][ hole ][ vma]
    [  range  ]
[  vma  ][ hole ][  vma  ]
             [  range  ]

IIRC, page table walker (walk_page_range()) should be designed to
handle these range inputs by separating into sub-ranges by vma
boundaries like below (with your notation):

   [  vma  ][ hole ][ vma  ]
      [    ][      ][  ]      // for your 1st case
      [    ][   ]             // for your 2nd case
               [   ][  ]      // for your 3rd case

Yes, pagewalk works exactly as your description.

And I found that .pte_hole is undefined in queue_pages_walk_ops.
So I'm guessing now that that's why hole regions are ignored and
the definition of EFAULT behavior in manpage is violated.
So providing proper .pte_hole callback could be another approach
for this issue which might fit better to the design.
Using the .pte_hole() can be one option, we may stop detecting the
unmapped holes when .pte_hole() been first called for a hole which
is outside vma. But, .pte_hole() would be called many times during
the walking, because it is called for holes inside and outside VMA.
.test_walk() is called once for one vma, and not called for other
situation, so better for cost.

IOW, queue_pages_test_walk() might not the right place to handle
hole regions by definition.
I guess the original design was to avoid walking those vma twice, one
for test holes and one for queue pages. Maybe we can find better
choice?

3. a checking in mbind_range() try to recover if the hole is in head side, but can't
recover if hole is in tail side of range.
