Add page migration support via swap to the NUMA policy layer
This patch adds page migration support to the NUMA policy layer. An additional
flag MPOL_MF_MOVE is introduced for mbind. If MPOL_MF_MOVE is specified then
pages that do not conform to the memory policy will be evicted from memory.
When they get pages back in new pages will be allocated following the numa policy.
Version 2
- Add vma_migratable() function for future enhancements.
- No side effects on WARN_ON
- Remove move_pages for now
- Make patch fit 2.6.14-rc4-mm1
Version 3
- Add check to not migrate pages shared with other processes (but allow
migration of memory shared between threads having a common mm_struct)
- MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to override and move even pages shared with other
processes. This only works if the process issuing this call has
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE because this enables the moving of pages owned
by other processes.
- MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK (internal use only) to not check for continuous VMAs.
Enable MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK if policy to be set is NULL (default policy).
