Subject: [PATCH] mm: migrate: requeue destination folio on deferred split queue
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 05:35:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306133556.2051251-1-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)

During folio migration, __folio_migrate_mapping() removes the source
folio from the deferred split queue, but the destination folio is never
re-queued.  This causes underutilized THPs to escape the shrinker after
NUMA migration, since they silently drop off the deferred split list.

Fix this by calling deferred_split_folio() on the destination folio
after a successful migration, for large rmappable folios.

Reported-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>
Fixes: dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split underused THPs")
