Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] mm/memory_hotplug: remove -EBUSY handling from scan_movable_pages()
Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 13:15:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250514111544.1012399-3-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250514111544.1012399-1-david@redhat.com>
Now that we can reliably identify PageOffline() pages that allow for
memory offlining in has_unmovable_pages(), start_isolate_page_range()
will fail on PageOffline() pages that would prevent memory offlining, and
we no longer have to detect them in scan_movable_pages() anymore.
Note that the previous mechanism relied on MEM_GOING_OFFLINE, whereby we
were not able to distinguish the types of PageOffline() before
MEM_GOING_OFFLINE.
