Subject: [PATCH] page migration: Support a vma migration function
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~1065
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b2259b3e53f128c10a9fded0965e69d4a949847;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] page migration: Support a vma migration function

Hooks for calling vma specific migration functions

With this patch a vma may define a vma->vm_ops->migrate function.  That
function may perform page migration on its own (some vmas may not contain page
structs and therefore cannot be handled by regular page migration.  Pages in a
vma may require special preparatory treatment before migration is possible
etc) .  Only mmap_sem is held when the migration function is called.  The
migrate() function gets passed two sets of nodemasks describing the source and
the target of the migration.  The flags parameter either contains

MPOL_MF_MOVE	which means that only pages used exclusively by
		the specified mm should be moved

or

MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL which means that pages shared with other processes
		should also be moved.

The migration function returns 0 on success or an error condition.  An error
condition will prevent regular page migration from occurring.

On its own this patch cannot be included since there are no users for this
functionality.  But it seems that the uncached allocator will need this
functionality at some point.
