Subject: mm: mempolicy: keep VMA walk if both MPOL_MF_STRICT and MPOL_MF_MOVE are specified
Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2023 15:32:42 -0700

When calling mbind() with MPOL_MF_{MOVE|MOVEALL} | MPOL_MF_STRICT, kernel
should attempt to migrate all existing pages, and return -EIO if there is
misplaced or unmovable page.  Then commit 6f4576e3687b ("mempolicy: apply
page table walker on queue_pages_range()") messed up the return value and
didn't break VMA scan early ianymore when MPOL_MF_STRICT alone.  The
return value problem was fixed by commit a7f40cfe3b7a ("mm: mempolicy:
make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified"), but it broke
the VMA walk early if unmovable page is met, it may cause some pages are
not migrated as expected.

The code should conceptually do:

 if (MPOL_MF_MOVE|MOVEALL)
     scan all vmas
     try to migrate the existing pages
     return success
 else if (MPOL_MF_MOVE* | MPOL_MF_STRICT)
     scan all vmas
     try to migrate the existing pages
     return -EIO if unmovable or migration failed
 else /* MPOL_MF_STRICT alone */
     break early if meets unmovable and don't call mbind_range() at all
 else /* none of those flags */
     check the ranges in test_walk, EFAULT without mbind_range() if discontig.

Fixed the behavior.
