Currently we always take a folio reference even if migration will not
even be tried or isolation failed, requiring us to grab+drop an additional
reference.

Further, we end up calling folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
might have already been unmapped, because after we dropped the PTL, that
can easily happen. We want to stop touching mapcounts and friends from
such context, and only call folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
is still mapped: mapcount information is pretty much stale and unreliable
otherwise.

So let's move checks into numamigrate_isolate_folio(), rename that
function to migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare(), and call that function
from callsites where we call migrate_misplaced_folio(), but still with
the PTL held.

We can now stop taking temporary folio references, and really only take
a reference if folio isolation succeeded. Doing the
folio_likely_mapped_shared() + golio isolation under PT lock is now similar
to how we handle MADV_PAGEOUT.

While at it, combine the folio_is_file_lru() checks.

These two locations are repeated code, maybe just merge the ifs into
numa_migrate_prep(). Feel free to ignore if you are not going to send
another version. :)

I went back and forth a couple of times and

a) Didn't want to move numa_migrate_prep() into
    migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare(), because having that code in
    mm/migrate.c felt a bit odd.

I agree after checking the actual code, since the code is just
updating NUMA fault stats and checking where the folio should be.


b) Didn't want to move migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() because I enjoy
    seeing the migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() and
    migrate_misplaced_folio() calls in the same callercontext.

I also considered renaming numa_migrate_prep(), but wasn't really able to come up with a good name.

How about numa_migrate_check()? Since it tells whether a folio should be
migrated or not.


But maybe a) is not too bad?

We'd have migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() consume &flags and &target_nid, and perform the "flags |= TNF_MIGRATE_FAIL;" internally.

What would be your take?

I would either rename numa_migrate_prep() or just do nothing. I have to admit
that the "prep" and "prepare" in both function names motivated me to propose
the merge, but now the actual code tells me they should be separate.

Let's leave it like that for now. Renaming to numa_migrate_check() makes sense, and likely moving more numa handling stuff in there.

Bit I yet have to figure out why some of the memory.c vs. huge_memory.c code differences exist, so we can unify them.

For example, why did 33024536bafd9 introduce slightly different last_cpupid handling in do_huge_pmd_numa_page(), whereby it seems like some subtle difference in handling NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING? Maybe I am missing something obvious. :)
