"man 2 migrate_pages" says "On success migrate_pages() returns the number of pages that could not be moved". Although 5.3 and 5.4 commits fixed mbind(MPOL_MF_STRICT|MPOL_MF_MOVE*) to fail with EIO when not all pages could be moved (because some could not be isolated for migration), migrate_pages(2) was left still reporting only those pages failing at the migration stage, forgetting those failing at the earlier isolation stage. Fix that by accumulating a long nr_failed count in struct queue_pages, returned by queue_pages_range() when it's not returning an error, for adding on to the nr_failed count from migrate_pages() in mm/migrate.c. A count of pages? It's more a count of folios, but changing it to pages would entail more work (also in mm/migrate.c): does not seem justified. queue_pages_range() itself should only return -EIO in the "strictly unmovable" case (STRICT without any MOVEs): in that case it's best to break out as soon as nr_failed gets set; but otherwise it should continue to isolate pages for MOVing even when nr_failed - as the mbind(2) manpage promises. There's a case when nr_failed should be incremented when it was missed: queue_folios_pte_range() and queue_folios_hugetlb() count the transient migration entries, like queue_folios_pmd() already did. And there's a case when nr_failed should not be incremented when it would have been: in meeting later PTEs of the same large folio, which can only be isolated once: fixed by recording the current large folio in struct queue_pages. Clean up the affected functions, fixing or updating many comments. Bool migrate_folio_add(), without -EIO: true if adding, or if skipping shared (but its arguable folio_estimated_sharers() heuristic left unchanged). Use MPOL_MF_WRLOCK flag to queue_pages_range(), instead of bool lock_vma. Use explicit STRICT|MOVE* flags where queue_pages_test_walk() checks for skipping, instead of hiding them behind MPOL_MF_VALID.

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.
