migrate_pages() would return positive value in some failure case,

This fix it and remove one dead statement.

Have you actually encountered this problem?  If migrate_pages() fails
with a positive value, the code that you are removing kicks in and
-EBUSY is assigned to ret (now that I look at it, I think that in the
current code the "return ret > 0 ? 0 : ret;" statement could be reduced
to "return ret;").  Your code seems to be cleaner, but the commit
message does not look accurate to me.


I don't encounter this problem yet.

If migrate_pages() with offlining false meets KSM page, then migration failed.
In this case, failed page is removed from cc.migratepage list and
return failed count.

Good point.
