[PATCH] mm: move_pages: report the number of non-attempted pages

From: Yang Shi
Date: Wed Jan 22 2020 - 14:40:04 EST


Since commit a49bd4d71637 ("mm, numa: rework do_pages_move"),
the semantic of move_pages() was changed to return the number of
non-migrated pages (failed to migration) and the call would be aborted
immediately if migrate_pages() returns positive value. But it didn't
report the number of pages that we even haven't attempted to migrate.
So, fix it by including non-attempted pages in the return value.
