[PATCH -V2 3/7] migrate_pages(): fix THP failure counting for -ENOMEM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In unmap_and_move(), if the new THP cannot be allocated, -ENOMEM will
be returned, and migrate_pages() will try to split the THP unless
"reason" is MR_NUMA_MISPLACED (that is, nosplit == true).  But when
nosplit == true, the THP migration failure will not be counted.  This
is incorrect.  So in this patch, the THP migration failure will be
counted for -ENOMEM regardless of nosplit is true or false.  The
nr_failed counting isn't fixed because it's not used.  Added some
comments for it per Baolin's suggestion.
