Oscar Salvador 1723058eab mm, memory_hotplug: don't bail out in do_migrate_range() prematurely 
do_migrate_range() takes a memory range and tries to isolate the pages
to put them into a list.  This list will be later on used in
migrate_pages() to know the pages we need to migrate.

Currently, if we fail to isolate a single page, we put all already
isolated pages back to their LRU and we bail out from the function.
This is quite suboptimal, as this will force us to start over again
because scan_movable_pages will give us the same range.  If there is no
chance that we can isolate that page, we will loop here forever.

Issue debugged in [1] has proved that.  During the debugging of that
issue, it was noticed that if do_migrate_ranges() fails to isolate a
single page, we will just discard the work we have done so far and bail
out, which means that scan_movable_pages() will find again the same set
of pages.

Instead, we can just skip the error, keep isolating as much pages as
possible and then proceed with the call to migrate_pages().

This will allow us to do as much work as possible at once.

Michal said:

: I still think that this doesn't give us a whole picture.  Looping for
: ever is a bug.  Failing the isolation is quite possible and it should
: be a ephemeral condition (e.g.  a race with freeing the page or
: somebody else isolating the page for whatever reason).  And here comes
: the disadvantage of the current implementation.  We simply throw
: everything on the floor just because of a ephemeral condition.  The
: racy page_count check is quite dubious to prevent from that.
