[PATCH] compaction: fix COMPACTPAGEFAILED counting

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Mon Aug 23 2010 - 12:15:39 EST


Now update_nr_listpages doesn't have a role. That's because
lists passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages.
The migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate
before returning by aaa994b3.

[PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages()

Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will
not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of
pages by the callers of migrate_pages().

At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages.
But the situation is changed. The compaction need to know the number of
failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat

This patch introude new argument 'cleanup' to migrate_pages.
Only if we set 1 to 'cleanup', migrate_page will clean up the lists.
Otherwise, caller need to clean up the lists so it has a chance to postprocess
the pages.
