Both when alloca_and_copy() is call it is fill with source memory, but once
that callback returns it must have set the destination memory inside that
array. This is what i discussed with Aneesh in this thread.

Yes because i need special swap entry and those does not exist for pmd.

Some memory can not be migrated, can not migrate something that is already
being migrated or something that is swap or something that is bad memory
... I only try to migrate valid memory.

Yes, this is a special device swap entry and those it is unaddressable memory.
The destination memory might also be unaddressable (migrating from one device
to another device).

We splited huge pmd not huge page. Intention is to support huge page but i wanted
to keep patch simple and THP need special handling when it comes to refcount to
check for pin (either on huge page or on one of its tail page).

No, we will try latter to lock the page and thus we want to keep a ref on the page.

Yes, right now i think on all arch it is equivalent.

Because we did page_remove_rmap() in hmm_migrate_collect() so we need to restore
rmap.

Not for un-addressable memory. Un-addressable memory need more change to filesystem
to handle read/write and writeback. This will be part of a separate patchset.

It can fail, there is no global status it is all handled on individual page
basis. So for instance if a device can only allocate its device memory as 64
chunk than it  can migrate any chunk that match this constraint and fail for
anything smaller than that.

Just a notification to driver.
