    migrate_pages: restrict number of pages to migrate in batch · 42012e04
    Huang Ying authored
    This is a preparation patch to batch the folio unmapping and moving for
    non-hugetlb folios.
    
    If we had batched the folio unmapping, all folios to be migrated would be
    unmapped before copying the contents and flags of the folios.  If the
    folios that were passed to migrate_pages() were too many in unit of pages,
    the execution of the processes would be stopped for too long time, thus
    too long latency.  For example, migrate_pages() syscall will call
    migrate_pages() with all folios of a process.  To avoid this possible
    issue, in this patch, we restrict the number of pages to be migrated to be
    no more than HPAGE_PMD_NR.  That is, the influence is at the same level of
    THP migration.
