When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any longterm pinned pages. When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs to be retried. This is indicated by returning zero. When all pages are in the correct zone the number of pinned pages is returned. However migration can also fail, in which case pages are unpinned and -ENOMEM is returned. However if the failure was due to not being unable to isolate a page zero is returned. This leads to indefinite looping in __gup_longterm_locked(). Fix this by simplifying the return codes such that zero indicates all pages were successfully pinned in the correct zone while errors indicate either pages were migrated and pinning should be retried or that migration has failed and therefore the pinning operation should fail.

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.
