Subject: [PATCH RFC 08/11] mm/migrate: move LRU batching into migrate_lru_folios()
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 10:52:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-migrate-refactor-shivank-v1-8-9dcca87669c4@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-migrate-refactor-shivank-v1-0-9dcca87669c4@amd.com>

The NR_MAX_BATCHED_MIGRATION limit is specific to LRU folio migration,
where the batch engine can keep multiple folios locked at once.

Move the batching loop into migrate_lru_folios() and rename the per-batch
worker to __migrate_lru_folios(). This leaves migrate_pages() responsible
only for dispatching the different migration classes.

No functional change intended.
