mm: mempolicy: keep VMA walk if both MPOL_MF_STRICT and MPOL_MF_MOVE …
…are specified When calling mbind() with MPOL_MF_{MOVE|MOVEALL} | MPOL_MF_STRICT, kernel should attempt to migrate all existing pages, and return -EIO if there is misplaced or unmovable page. Then commit 6f4576e ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on queue_pages_range()") messed up the return value and didn't break VMA scan early ianymore when MPOL_MF_STRICT alone. The return value problem was fixed by commit a7f40cf ("mm: mempolicy: make mbind() return -EIO when MPOL_MF_STRICT is specified"), but it broke the VMA walk early if unmovable page is met, it may cause some pages are not migrated as expected. The code should conceptually do: if (MPOL_MF_MOVE|MOVEALL) scan all vmas try to migrate the existing pages return success else if (MPOL_MF_MOVE* | MPOL_MF_STRICT) scan all vmas try to migrate the existing pages return -EIO if unmovable or migration failed else /* MPOL_MF_STRICT alone */ break early if meets unmovable and don't call mbind_range() at all else /* none of those flags */ check the ranges in test_walk, EFAULT without mbind_range() if discontig. Fixed the behavior.
