[RFC PATCH 2/3 V1 resend] mm, page migrate: add MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE type

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Wed Jul 04 2012 - 04:39:06 EST


MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE is a special kind of MIGRATE_MOVABLE, but it is stable:
any page of the type can NOT be changed to the other type nor be moved to
the other free list.

So the pages of MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE are always movable, this ability is
useful for hugepages and hotremove ...etc.

MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE pages is the used as the first candidate when
we allocate movable pages.

1) add small routine is_migrate_movable() for movable-like types
2) add small routine is_migrate_stable() for stable types
3) fix some comments
4) fix get_any_page(). The get_any_page() may change
MIGRATE_CMA/HOTREMOVE types page to MOVABLE which may cause this page
to be changed to UNMOVABLE.
