[Patch v3 0/4] cleanup on do_pages_move()

[Patch v3 0/4] cleanup on do_pages_move()

[Wei Yang]

The logic in do_pages_move() is a little mess for audience to read and has
some potential error on handling the return value. Especially there are
three calls on do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() with almost the
same form.

This patch set tries to make the code a little friendly for audience by
consolidate the calls.

v3:
  * rebase on top of Yang Shi's fix "mm: move_pages: report the number of
    non-attempted pages"
v2:
  * remove some unnecessary cleanup


Wei Yang (4):
  mm/migrate.c: not necessary to check start and i
  mm/migrate.c: wrap do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status()
  mm/migrate.c: check pagelist in move_pages_and_store_status()
  mm/migrate.c: handle same node and add failure in the same way

[Patch v3 1/4] mm/migrate.c: not necessary to check start and i

[Wei Yang]

Till here, i must no less than start. And if i equals to start,
store_status() would always return 0.

Remove some unnecessary check to make it easy to read and prepare for
further cleanup.

[Patch v3 2/4] mm/migrate.c: wrap do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status()

[Wei Yang]

Usually do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() is a pair. There are
three places call this pair of functions with almost the same form.

This patch just wrap it to make it friendly to audience and also
consolidate the move and store action into one place.

Yep, since some change from original code, I dropped your ack.

[Patch v3 3/4] mm/migrate.c: check pagelist in move_pages_and_store_status()

[Wei Yang]

When pagelist is empty, it is not necessary to do the move and store.
Also it consolidate the empty list check in one place.

[Patch v3 4/4] mm/migrate.c: handle same node and add failure in the same way

[Wei Yang]

When page is not queued for migration, there are two possible cases:

  * page already on the target node
  * failed to add to migration queue

Current code handle them differently, this leads to a behavior
inconsistency.

Usually for each page's status, we just do store for once. While for the
page already on the target node, we might store the node information for
twice:

  * once when we found the page is on the target node
  * second when moving the pages to target node successfully after above
    action

The reason is even we don't add the page to pagelist, but store_status()
does store in a range which still contains the page.

This patch handles these two cases in the same way to reduce this
inconsistency and also make the code a little easier to read.
