I hit the VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc->migratepages)) in compact_zone(); and if DEBUG_VM were off, then pages would be lost on a local list. Our convention is that if migrate_pages() reports complete success (0), then the migratepages list will be empty; but if it reports an error or some pages remaining, then its caller must putback_movable_pages(). There's a new case in which migrate_pages() has been reporting complete success, but returning with pages left on the migratepages list: when migrate_pages_batch() successfully split a folio on the deferred list, but then the "Failure isn't counted" call does not dispose of them all. Since that block is expecting the large folio to have been counted as 1 failure already, and since the return code is later adjusted to success whenever the returned list is found empty, the simple way to fix this safely is to count splitting the deferred folio as "a failure".
