[RFC,03/25] mm: migrate: Add a multi-threaded page migration function.

Commit Message

Zi Yan April 4, 2019, 2 a.m. UTC

From: Zi Yan <[e-mail]>

copy_page_multithread() function is added to migrate huge pages
in multi-threaded way, which provides higher throughput than
a single-threaded way.

Internally, copy_page_multithread() splits and distributes a huge page
into multiple threads, then send them as jobs to system_highpri_wq.
