And even for x86_64 I think: the follow_huge_pmd() locking issue I
mentioned.  But I agree that's a different kind of bug, and probably
not cause to disable the feature even on x86_64 at this stage - but
cause to fix it in a different patch Cc stable when you have a moment.

Hmm, I don't like the sound of "until developers of other archs get
interested in enabling this feature".  Your choice, I suppose, but I
had been expecting you to give them a little more help than that, by
fixing up the follow_huge_addr() and locking as you expect it to be
(and whatever Michael's subsequent remove_migration_pte() crash comes
from - maybe obvious with a little thought, but I haven't), then
pinging those architectures to give it a try and enable if they wish.

Perhaps I'm expecting too much, and you haven't the time; doubt I have.

I believe your patch below is incomplete, or perhaps you were
expecting to layer it on top of my follow_huge_addr get_page one.
No, I think we should throw mine away if you're going to disable
the feature on most architectures for now (and once the locking is
corrected, my get_page after follow_huge_addr will be wrong anyway).

What I think you're missing is an adjustment to your 71ea2efb1e93
("mm: migrate: remove VM_HUGETLB from vma flag check in vma_migratable()"):
doesn't vma_migratable() need to test VM_HUGETLB when
!CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION?  Then we are saved from
reaching the follow_huge_addr() BUG; and avoid the weird preparation
for migrating HUGETLB pages on architectures which do not support it.

But yes, I think your disablement approach is the right thing for 3.15.

Should that be X86_64 && MIGRATION?  X86_64 && HUGETLB_PAGE && MIGRATION?
Maybe it doesn't matter.

Yes, I agree a per-arch config option is better than all those
pmd_huge_support() functions, especially all the ones saying 0.

You don't want to have to update that comment every time an architecture
opts in.  No need for any comment here, I think, the name is good enough
(though hugepage_migration_supported() would be better).

I don't remember how duplicated config entries work,
so cannot comment on that.
