Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page", v6.
After Minchan's commit
bda807d44454 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru
movable page migration"), some type of non-lru page like zsmalloc and
virtio-balloon page also support migration.
Therefore, we can:
1) soft offlining no-lru movable pages, which means when memory
corrected errors occur on a non-lru movable page, we can stop to use
it by migrating data onto another page and disable the original
(maybe half-broken) one.
2) enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages, i.e. we may offline
blocks, which include such pages, by using non-lru page migration.
This patchset is heavily dependent on non-lru movable page migration.
This patch (of 4):
Change the return type of isolate_movable_page() from bool to int. It
will return 0 when isolate movable page successfully, and return -EBUSY
when it isolates failed.
There is no functional change within this patch but prepare for later
patch.
