[PATCH 18/31] mm/mpol: Use special PROT_NONE to migrate pages

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Oct 25 2012 - 09:12:24 EST


Combine our previous PROT_NONE, mpol_misplaced and
migrate_misplaced_page() pieces into an effective migrate on fault
scheme.

Note that (on x86) we rely on PROT_NONE pages being !present and avoid
the TLB flush from try_to_unmap(TTU_MIGRATION). This greatly improves
the page-migration performance.
