From: Alistair Popple <apopple@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/migrate.c: rework migration_entry_wait() to not take a pageref
This fixes the FIXME in migrate_vma_check_page().
Before migrating a page migration code will take a reference and check
there are no unexpected page references, failing the migration if there
are. When a thread faults on a migration entry it will take a temporary
reference to the page to wait for the page to become unlocked signifying
the migration entry has been removed.
This reference is dropped just prior to waiting on the page lock, however
the extra reference can cause migration failures so it is desirable to
avoid taking it.
As migration code already has a reference to the migrating page an extra
reference to wait on PG_locked is unnecessary so long as the reference
can't be dropped whilst setting up the wait.
When faulting on a migration entry the ptl is taken to check the migration
entry. Removing a migration entry also requires the ptl, and migration
code won't drop its page reference until after the migration entry has
been removed. Therefore retaining the ptl of a migration entry is
sufficient to ensure the page has a reference. Reworking
migration_entry_wait() to hold the ptl until the wait setup is complete
means the extra page reference is no longer needed.
