From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>
If the source folio is on deferred split list, it is likely some subpages
are not used. Split it before migration to avoid migrating unused subpages.
Commit 616b8371539a6 ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path")
did not check if a THP is on deferred split list before migration, thus,
the destination THP is never put on deferred split list even if the source
THP might be. The opportunity of reclaiming free pages in a partially
mapped THP during deferred list scanning is lost, but no other harmful
consequence is present[1].
>From v3:
1. Guarded deferred list code behind CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to avoid
compilation error (per SeongJae Park).
>From v2:
1. Split the source folio instead of migrating it (per Matthew Wilcox)[2].
>From v1:
1. Used dst to get correct deferred split list after migration
(per Ryan Roberts).
