Patch series "Improve the migration stats". According to talk with Zi Yan [1], this patch set changes the return value of migrate_pages() to avoid returning a number which is larger than the number of pages the users tried to migrate by move_pages() syscall. Also fix the hugetlb migration stats and migration stats in trace_mm_compaction_migratepages(). [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/7E44019D-2A5D-4BA7-B4D5-00D4712F1687@nvidia.com/ This patch (of 3): As Zi Yan pointed out, the syscall move_pages() can return a non-migrated number larger than the number of pages the users tried to migrate, when a THP page is failed to migrate. This is confusing for users. Since other migration scenarios do not care about the actual non-migrated number of pages except the memory compaction migration which will fix in following patch. Thus we can change the return value to return the number of {normal page, THP, hugetlb} instead to avoid this issue, and the number of THP splits will be considered as the number of non-migrated THP, no matter how many subpages of the THP are migrated successfully. Meanwhile we should still keep the migration counters using the number of normal pages.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
