[PATCH 3/8] migrate_pages: restrict number of pages to migrate in batch

Huang Ying
2022-12-27T00:30:07Z

This is a preparation patch to batch the folio unmapping and moving
for non-hugetlb folios.

If we had batched the folio unmapping, all folios to be migrated would
be unmapped before copying the contents and flags of the folios. If
the folios that were passed to migrate_pages() were too many in unit
of pages, the execution of the processes would be stopped for too long
time, thus too long latency. For example, migrate_pages() syscall
will call migrate_pages() with all folios of a process. To avoid this
possible issue, in this patch, we restrict the number of pages to be
migrated to be no more than HPAGE_PMD_NR. That is, the influence is
at the same level of THP migration.
