I've looked into this and actually prefer the approach in this patch.
Consider the scenario where we install a migration entry, but
migrate_to_ram fails. How do we handle this?
We don't know where migrate_to_ram failed. Was migrate_device_finalize
called, removing the migration PTE? Do we need to special-case failures
in migrate_to_ram to prevent migrate_device_finalize from removing the
faulting page's migration entry? Should we check for a migration entry
after migrate_to_ram and remove it if it exists?
Now, if migrate_to_ram succeeds, it seems the migration entry should be
removed in migrate_device_finalize since the new page is only available
there. We could return the new page in migrate_to_ram, but that feels
messy.
Additionally, the page lock needs to be held across migrate_to_ram, as
this patch does, so we'll require some special handling in
migrate_device_finalize to avoid unlocking the faulting page.
Finally, installing a migration entry is non-trivial, while taking a
page reference under a lock is straightforward.
Given all this, I prefer to keep this patch as it is.
