Currently when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is not set, the reserved pages are initialized to MIGRATE_MOVABLE by default in memmap_init. Reserved memory mainly stores the metadata of struct page. When HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_DEFAULT_ON=Y and hugepages are allocated, the memory occupied by the struct page metadata will be freed. Before this patch: when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is not set, the freed memory was placed on the Movable list; When CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=Y, the freed memory was placed on the Unmovable list. After this patch, the freed memory is placed on the Movable list regardless of whether CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set.
