I'll go through he remainder of the patchset this week.
While skimming over patch #2, I was wondering whether
"page_to_migration_pfn()" would better fit "migration_pfn_to_page".
... and I was wondering why that code deals with pages instead of folios.
E.g.,
page = folio_page(folio, 0);
mpfn[i] = migrate_pfn_from_page(page);
Should just be
mpfn[i] = folio_to_migration_pfn(folio);
Right?
