mm/munlock: page migration needs mlock pagevec drained
Page migration of a VM_LOCKED page tends to fail, because when the old page is unmapped, it is put on the mlock pagevec with raised refcount, which then fails the freeze. At first I thought this would be fixed by a local mlock_page_drain() at the upper rmap_walk() level - which would have nicely batched all the munlocks of that page; but tests show that the task can too easily move to another cpu, leaving pagevec residue behind which fails the migration. So try_to_migrate_one() drain the local pagevec after page_remove_rmap() from a VM_LOCKED vma; and do the same in try_to_unmap_one(), whose TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK users would want the same treatment; and do the same in remove_migration_pte() - not important when successfully inserting a new page, but necessary when hoping to retry after failure. Any new pagevec runs the risk of adding a new way of stranding, and we might discover other corners where mlock_page_drain() or lru_add_drain() would now help.
