[PATCH] page migration: Support a vma migration function
Hooks for calling vma specific migration functions With this patch a vma may define a vma->vm_ops->migrate function. That function may perform page migration on its own (some vmas may not contain page structs and therefore cannot be handled by regular page migration. Pages in a vma may require special preparatory treatment before migration is possible etc) . Only mmap_sem is held when the migration function is called. The migrate() function gets passed two sets of nodemasks describing the source and the target of the migration. The flags parameter either contains MPOL_MF_MOVE which means that only pages used exclusively by the specified mm should be moved or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL which means that pages shared with other processes should also be moved. The migration function returns 0 on success or an error condition. An error condition will prevent regular page migration from occurring. On its own this patch cannot be included since there are no users for this functionality. But it seems that the uncached allocator will need this functionality at some point.
