Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Direct Migration V6: upgrade MPOL_MF_MOVE and sys_migrate_pages()
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Content-Length: 7273
Lines: 241

Modify policy layer to support direct page migration

- Add migrate_pages_to() allowing the migration of a list of pages to a
  a specified node or to vma with a specific allocation policy in sets
  of MIGRATE_CHUNK_SIZE pages

- Modify do_migrate_pages() to do a staged move of pages from the
  source nodes to the target nodes.

V3->V4: Fixed up to be based on the swap migration code in 2.6.15-rc1-mm2.

V1->V2:
- Migrate processes in chunks of MIGRATE_CHUNK_SIZE
