Hi Yang,
I might be missing something but AFAICS you only need to initialize
nr_succeded pointer where it matters.
The local nr_succeeded in migrate_pages() doesn't go, and so it gets
initialized every time you call in it to 0.
And if you pass a valid pointer, *ret_succeeded == nr_succedeed.
I am talking about this (not even compile-tested):

As I said I might be missing a point here, but I cannot see the problem
you describe here.
