This series is the result of discussion around my RFC patch [1] where
I talked about completely removing the waits for the folio_lock in
migrate_folio_unmap().
This new series should, I think, be more palatable to folks. Please
let me know what you think!
Most of the description of why I think we want this patch series can
be seen in patch #3 ("migrate_pages: Don't wait forever locking pages
in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT"). I won't repeat all that information here and
would humbly request that anyone wishing to comment on the overall
patch series respond there. ;-)
