If migration succeeded, we called folio_migrate_flags()->mem_cgroup_migrate() to migrate the memcg from the old to the new folio. This will set memcg_data of the old folio to 0.

Similarly, if migration failed, memcg_data of the dst folio is left unset.

If we call folio_putback_lru() on such folios (memcg_data == 0), we will add the folio to be freed to the LRU, making memcg code unhappy. Running the hmm selftests:

Likely, nothing else goes wrong: putting the last folio reference will remove the folio from the LRU again. So besides memcg complaining, adding the folio to be freed to the LRU is just an unnecessary step.

The new flow resembles what we have in migrate_folio_move(): add the dst to the lru, remove migration ptes, unlock and unref dst.

cover mm/migrate_device: don't add folio to be freed to LRU in migrate_device_finalize()

Just got reminded that I never did these backports.

Patch #1 is a clean cherry pick to make the fix in patch #2 easier to backport. One minor context conflict.

PATCH 1/2 mm: migrate_device: use more folio in migrate_device_finalize()
