Nope. It only means that the migration for some pages has failed. This may still be considered successful for the app if it moves 10000 pages and one failed. This patch would break the move_pages() syscall because an error code return from do_move_pages_to_node_array() will cause the status byte for each page move to not be updated anymore. Application will not be able to tell anymore which pages were successfully moved and which are not. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
