The patch titled
page migration cleanup: extract try_to_unmap from migration functions
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
page-migration-cleanup-extract-try_to_unmap-from-migration-functions.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
Extract try_to_unmap and rename remove_references -> move_mapping
try_to_unmap() may significantly change the page state by for example setting
the dirty bit. It is therefore best to unmap in migrate_pages() before
calling any migration functions.
migrate_page_remove_references() will then only move the new page in place of
the old page in the mapping. Rename the function to
migrate_page_move_mapping().
This allows us to get rid of the special unmapping for the fallback path.
