Subject: [PATCH] doc: mm: migration doesn't use FOLL_SPLIT anymore
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2019 04:17:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1555618624-23957-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

When demonstrating FOLL_SPLIT in transhuge document, migration is used
as an example.  But, since commit 94723aafb9e7 ("mm: unclutter THP
migration"), the way of THP migration is totally changed.  FOLL_SPLIT is
not used by migration anymore due to the change.

Remove the obsolete example to avoid confusion.

 In case you can't handle compound pages if they're returned by
 follow_page, the FOLL_SPLIT bit can be specified as parameter to
 follow_page, so that it will split the hugepages before returning
-them. Migration for example passes FOLL_SPLIT as parameter to
-follow_page because it's not hugepage aware and in fact it can't work
-at all on hugetlbfs (but it instead works fine on transparent
-hugepages thanks to FOLL_SPLIT). migration simply can't deal with
-hugepages being returned (as it's not only checking the pfn of the
-page and pinning it during the copy but it pretends to migrate the
-memory in regular page sizes and with regular pte/pmd mappings).
