vma_migratable() is called to check if pages in vma can be migrated before go ahead to further actions. Currently it is used in below code path: - task_numa_work - mbind - move_pages For hugetlb mapping, whether vma is migratable or not is determined by: - CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION - arch_hugetlb_migration_supported Issue: current code only checks for CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION alone, and no code should use it directly. (note that current code in vma_migratable don't cause failure or bug because unmap_and_move_huge_page() will catch unsupported hugepage and handle it properly) This patch checks the two factors by hugepage_migration_supported for impoving code logic and robustness. It will enable early bail out of hugepage migration procedure, but because currently all architecture supporting hugepage migration is able to support all page size, we would not see performance gain with this patch applied. vma_migratable() is moved to mm/mempolicy.c, because of the circular reference of mempolicy.h and hugetlb.h cause defining it as inline not feasible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
