    mm: introduce putback_movable_pages() · 5733c7d1

    The PATCH "mm: introduce compaction and migration for virtio ballooned pages"
    hacks around putback_lru_pages() in order to allow ballooned pages to be
    re-inserted on balloon page list as if a ballooned page was like a LRU page.
    
    As ballooned pages are not legitimate LRU pages, this patch introduces
    putback_movable_pages() to properly cope with cases where the isolated
    pageset contains ballooned pages and LRU pages, thus fixing the mentioned
    inelegant hack around putback_lru_pages().
