Michal Hocko a85009c377 mm, memory_hotplug: try to migrate full pfn range
Patch series "few memory offlining enhancements".

I have been chasing memory offlining not making progress recently.  On the
way I have noticed few weird decisions in the code.  The migration itself
is restricted without a reasonable justification and the retry loop around
the migration is quite messy.  This is addressed by patch 1 and patch 2.

Patch 3 is targeting on the faultaround code which has been a hot
candidate for the initial issue reported upstream [2] and that I am
debugging internally.  It turned out to be not the main contributor in the
end but I believe we should address it regardless.  See the patch
description for more details.

This patch (of 3):

do_migrate_range has been limiting the number of pages to migrate to 256
for some reason which is not documented.  Even if the limit made some
sense back then when it was introduced it doesn't really serve a good
purpose these days.  If the range contains huge pages then we break out of
the loop too early and go through LRU and pcp caches draining and
scan_movable_pages is quite suboptimal.

The only reason to limit the number of pages I can think of is to reduce
the potential time to react on the fatal signal.  But even then the number
of pages is a questionable metric because even a single page migration
might block in a non-killable state (e.g.  __unmap_and_move).

Remove the limit and offline the full requested range (this is one
memblock worth of pages with the current code).  Should we ever get a
report that offlining takes too long to react on fatal signal then we
should rather fix the core migration to use killable waits and bailout
on a signal.
