[merged mm-stable] mm-migrate-report-rcu-tasks-quiescent-states-in-migrate_pages_batch.patch removed from -mm tree

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-migrate-report-rcu-tasks-quiescent-states-in-migrate_pages_batch.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 06:50:19 -0700

migrate_pages_batch() unmaps each folio before moving it, and every
unmap runs the mmu_notifier invalidate callbacks.  On KVM hosts
try_to_migrate() ends up in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() ->
tdp_mmu_zap_leafs(), which is expensive, so unmapping a large batch keeps
the CPU busy for a long time.

The loop already calls cond_resched(), but on PREEMPTION kernels that is
a no-op, and involuntary preemption is not a Tasks-RCU quiescent state.

A long batch therefore never reports a quiescent state, and the
migrating task (e.g. kcompactd) becomes a Tasks-RCU holdout, stalling the
Tasks-RCU grace period for minutes, which is common at Meta fleet:

  INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:
  0000000055349ecc: .. nvcsw: 1157401/1157401 holdout: 1 idle_cpu: -1/56 task:kcompactd0      state:R  running task
  Call Trace:
   tdp_mmu_zap_leafs
   tdp_mmu_next_root
   gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start
   kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start
   __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start
   try_to_migrate_one
   try_to_migrate
   migrate_pages_batch
   migrate_pages
   compact_zone
   compact_node
   kcompactd
   kthread

Use cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() so a quiescent state is reported even
when cond_resched() does nothing.
