Migration is currently implemented as a mode of operation for try_to_unmap_one() generally specified by passing the TTU_MIGRATION flag or in the case of splitting a huge anonymous page TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE. However it does not have much in common with the rest of the unmap functionality of try_to_unmap_one() and thus splitting it into a separate function reduces the complexity of try_to_unmap_one() making it more readable. Several simplifications can also be made in try_to_migrate_one() based on the following observations: - All users of TTU_MIGRATION also set TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK. - No users of TTU_MIGRATION ever set TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON. - No users of TTU_MIGRATION ever set TTU_BATCH_FLUSH. TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE is a special case of migration used when splitting an anonymous page. This is most easily dealt with by calling the correct function from unmap_page() in mm/huge_memory.c - either try_to_migrate() for PageAnon or try_to_unmap().

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.
