Subject: [PATCH RFC v6 2/5] mm/migrate: add batch-copy path in migrate_pages_batch
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 07:28:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630-shivank-batch-migrate-offload-v6-2-da95d7e8b8a2@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630-shivank-batch-migrate-offload-v6-0-da95d7e8b8a2@amd.com>
Add migrate_folios_mc_copy() which walks src/dst folio lists in
lockstep, copies folio content via folio_mc_copy() and marks the dst
with FOLIO_CONTENT_COPIED so the move phase in __migrate_folio() can
skip the per-folio copy. The folios_cnt parameter is unused here,
present for the offload_copy callback signature compatibility used by
later patches in the series.
Split unmapped folios into batch-eligible (unmap_batch/dst_batch) and
standard (unmap_single/dst_single) lists. A folio is batch-eligible
when the migration reason is allowed by the driver, refcount equals
expected and it's not a movable_ops page.
After TLB flush, batch copy the eligible folios via
migrate_folios_mc_copy(), then run the move phase. The
FOLIO_CONTENT_COPIED marker is consumed on first read in the
__migrate_folio, so a -EAGAIN retry falls back to fresh per-folio copy.
