From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: migrate: return -ENOSYS if THP migration is unsupported In the current implementation unmap_and_move() would return -ENOMEM if THP migration is unsupported, then the THP will be split. If split is failed just exit without trying to migrate other pages. It doesn't make too much sense since there may be enough free memory to migrate other pages and there may be a lot base pages on the list. Return -ENOSYS to make consistent with hugetlb. And if THP split is failed just skip and try other pages on the list. Just skip the whole list and exit when free memory is really low.
