[ Upstream commit fb05f992b6bbb4702307d96f00703ee637b24dbf ]
Patch series "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)", v2.
In the future, as we decouple "struct page" from "struct folio", pages that support "non-lru page migration" -- movable_ops page migration such as memory balloons and zsmalloc -- will no longer be folios. They will not have ->mapping, ->lru, and likely no refcount and no page lock. But they will have a type and flags 🙂
This is the first part (other parts not written yet) of decoupling movable_ops page migration from folio migration.
In this series, we get rid of the ->mapping usage, and start cleaning up the code + separating it from folio migration.
Migration core will have to be further reworked to not treat movable_ops pages like folios. This is the first step into that direction.
This patch (of 29):
The core will set PG_isolated only after mops->isolate_page() was called. In case of the balloon, that is where we will remove it from the balloon list. So we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon list.
Let's drop this unnecessary check.

[ Upstream commit 15504b1163007bbfbd9a63460d5c14737c16e96d ]
Let's move the removal of the page from the balloon list into the single caller, to remove the dependency on the PG_isolated flag and clarify locking requirements.
Note that for now, balloon_page_delete() was used on two paths:
(1) Removing a page from the balloon for deflation through balloon_page_list_dequeue() (2) Removing an isolated page from the balloon for migration in the per-driver migration handlers. Isolated pages were already removed from the balloon list during isolation.
So instead of relying on the flag, we can just distinguish both cases directly and handle it accordingly in the caller.
We'll shuffle the operations a bit such that they logically make more sense (e.g., remove from the list before clearing flags).
In balloon migration functions we can now move the balloon_page_finalize() out of the balloon lock and perform the finalization just before dropping the balloon reference.
Document that the page lock is currently required when modifying the movability aspects of a page; hopefully we can soon decouple this from the page lock.
