Patch series "fix THP migration for CMA allocations", v2. Transparent huge pages are allocated with __GFP_MOVABLE, and can end up in CMA memory blocks. Transparent huge pages also have most of the infrastructure in place to allow migration. However, a few pieces were missing, causing THP migration to fail when attempting to use CMA to allocate 1GB hugepages. With these patches in place, THP migration from CMA blocks seems to work, both for anonymous THPs and for tmpfs/shmem THPs. This patch (of 2): Add information to struct compact_control to indicate that the allocator would really like to clear out this specific part of memory, used by for example CMA.

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.
