Commit Message

Huang, Ying June 24, 2022, 2:53 a.m. UTC
In unmap_and_move(), if the new THP cannot be allocated, -ENOMEM will
be returned, and migrate_pages() will try to split the THP unless
"reason" is MR_NUMA_MISPLACED (that is, nosplit == true).  But when
nosplit == true, the THP migration failure will not be counted.  This
is incorrect.  So in this patch, the THP migration failure will be
counted for -ENOMEM regardless of nosplit is true or false.  The
nr_failed counting is fixed too, although that is not used actually.

No strong opinion about the 'nr_failed' updating, like you said, we did 
not use it in this case. Maybe just add some comments instead of adding 
some unused code? Otherwise looks good to me.
