The memory is definitely not discardable here if the migration failed because that implies it is still mapped into some userspace process. We could avoid restarting the machine by doing something similar to what happens during memory failure and killing every process that maps the page(s). But overall I think it's better to retry until memory is available, because that allows things like reclaim to work and in the worst case allows the OOM killer to select an appropriate task to kill. It also won't cause data corruption if/when we have file-backed memory. > thanks,
