Subject: [PATCH 0/3] make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent

Hi,

As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when handling
hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb, it prevents
fallback to other NUMA nodes in alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However,
when dealing with in-use hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't get
what is asssumed available.

This patch set tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

Changes from RFC:
 - Move the gfp modification into alloc_migrate_hugetlb_folio().
