From: Michal Hocko <mho...@suse.com>

do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address). The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error. The semantic of this function is
little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back. Notably
migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value. This patch
doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change the
underlying implementation.

Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large)
in batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page. Each
address is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node
structure along with the requested target numa node. The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument. new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.

What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path.
That doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to
make the thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a
THP into the list for some cases.

How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage. This should work reasonably well because
page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a specific
node. So the common case should work equally well as the current
implementation. Even if somebody constructs an input where the target
numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large performance
impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit from
batching. mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable and
isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it even
in the current implementation.
