[PATCH 2.6.13-rc1 3/11] mm: manual page migration-rc4 -- add-node_map-arg-to-try_to_migrate_pages-rc4.patch

[Ray Bryant <raybry@sgi.com>]

This patch changes the interface to try_to_migrate_pages() so that one
can specify the nodes where the pages are to be migrated to.  This is
done by adding a "node_map" argument to try_to_migrate_pages(), node_map
is of type "int *".

If this argument is NULL, then try_to_migrate_pages() behaves exactly
as before and this is the interface the rest of the memory hotplug
patch should use.  (Note:  This patchset does not include the changes
for the rest of the memory hotplug patch that will be necessary to use
this new interface [if it is accepted].  Those chagnes will be provided
as a distinct patch.)

If the argument is non-NULL, the node_map points at an array of shorts
of size MAX_NUMNODES.   node_map[N] is either the id of an online node
or -1.  If node_map[N] >=0 then pages found in the page list passed
to try_to_migrate_pages() that are found on node N are migrated to node
node_map[N].  if node_map[N] == -1, then pages found on node N are left
where they are.

This change depends on previous changes to migrate_onepage()
that support migrating a page to a specified node.  These changes
are already part of the memory migration sub-patch of the memory
hotplug patch.
