Subject: [PATCH -V10 4/9] 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 page is dirty.

A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail.  This essentially falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the
case that demotions fail.  Previous versions of this patch may have
simply failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but
were unable to be demoted in practice.

For some cases, for example, MADV_PAGEOUT, the pages are always
discarded instead of demoted to follow the kernel API definition.
Because MADV_PAGEOUT is defined as freeing specified pages regardless
in which tier they are.

Note: This just adds the start of infrastructure for migration. It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().

changes from 20210625:
 * Move common demotion condition into can_demote_anon_pages() and
   call it out of loop in shrink_page_list() per Wei's comments.

changes from 20210618:
 * Fix some typos in comments and patch description.
 * Fix MADV_PAGEOUT behavior per Zi's comments.

changes from 20210122:
 * move from GFP_HIGHUSER -> GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE (Ying)

changes from 202010:
 * add MR_NUMA_MISPLACED to trace MIGRATE_REASON define
 * make migrate_demote_page_ok() static, remove 'sc' arg until
   later patch
 * remove unnecessary alloc_demote_page() hugetlb warning
 * Simplify alloc_demote_page() gfp mask.  Depend on
   __GFP_NORETRY to make it lightweight instead of fancier
   stuff like leaving out __GFP_IO/FS.
 * Allocate migration page with alloc_migration_target()
   instead of allocating directly.
changes from 20200730:
 * Add another pass through shrink_page_list() when demotion
   fails.
changes from 20210302:
 * Use __GFP_THISNODE and revise the comment explaining the
   GFP mask constructionn
