Oh! sorry I missed it. I am attaching the version with the comments removed.
On the behaviour change, I agree, but it is required for migration to occur.
Updated patch below:
mm/migrate_device: handle partially mapped folios during collection
Extend migrate_vma_collect_pmd() to handle partially mapped large
folios that require splitting before migration can proceed.
During PTE walk in the collection phase, if a large folio is only
partially mapped in the migration range, it must be split to ensure
the folio is correctly migrated.
