Is this from your migrate_pages(2) man page?

The latest version of the migrate_pages(2) man page in the git repo has this
for RETURN VALUE.

RETURN VALUE
       On  success  migrate_pages() returns the number of pages that could not
       be moved (i.e., a return of zero means that all pages were successfully
       moved).  On error, it returns -1, and sets errno to indicate the error.
