If there is a mix of ZONE_MOVABLE and device pages the return value (ret) will
be subsequently lost here:
if (!list_empty(_page_list)) {
ret = migrate_pages(_page_list, alloc_migration_target,
NULL, (unsigned long), MIGRATE_SYNC,
MR_LONGTERM_PIN, NULL);
if (ret && !list_empty(_page_list))
putback_movable_pages(_page_list);
}
Which won't actually cause any problems, but it will lead to the GUP getting
retried unnecessarily. I do still intend to address this with a series to
migrate pages instead though, so I think this is ok for now as it's an unlikely
corner case anyway. Therefore feel tree to add the below when you repost:
