Subject: [RFC][PATCH 5/9] mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>
This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/
Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data
to another NUMA node instead of discarding the data. This always
avoids the cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes
avoids the writeout cost when the pagee is dirty.
Note: This just adds the start of infratructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().
