From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: migrate: check mapcount for THP instead of refcount The generic migration path will check refcount, so no need check refcount here. But the old code actually prevents from migrating shared THP (mapped by multiple processes), so bail out early if mapcount is > 1 to keep the behavior.
