A couple of questions that I and Matt have been discussing around this
change and that we aren't completely cleare about. Perhaps somebody
else has some input:
1) The livelock occurs because we do a page reference check in
migrate_vma_check_page(). However judging from the documentation it
still uses a page refcount to determine whether it's pinned.
If we were to use folio_maybe_dma_pinned() which uses the pin-count
instead problem would be solved? However if there already is a refcount
that we don't know about, that holder could possibly upgrade it to a
pin-count. Does anybody know why not folio_maybe_dma_pinned() is used?

2) Second question is allocating memory under a page-lock. There
appears to be code avoiding that, arguing that page-locks may be taken
during reclaim. At least unless GFP_NOFS is used. Here we'd allow
GFP_KERNEL allocations under page-locks but can argue that it's only
device_private pages that are safe. Although some drivers do GFP_KERNEL
locks also under ordinary page-locks in migrate_to_ram(), probably
arguing that those pages are taken off LRU. Seems a bit fragile, is
there any known policy regarding this?
Thanks,
Thomas
