    mm/migrate_device.c: copy pte dirty bit to page · fd35ca3d
    Alistair Popple authored
    migrate_vma_setup() has a fast path in migrate_vma_collect_pmd() that
    installs migration entries directly if it can lock the migrating page. 
    When removing a dirty pte the dirty bit is supposed to be carried over to
    the underlying page to prevent it being lost.
    
    Currently migrate_vma_*() can only be used for private anonymous mappings.
    That means loss of the dirty bit usually doesn't result in data loss
    because these pages are typically not file-backed.  However pages may be
    backed by swap storage which can result in data loss if an attempt is made
    to migrate a dirty page that doesn't yet have the PageDirty flag set.
    
    In this case migration will fail due to unexpected references but the
    dirty pte bit will be lost.  If the page is subsequently reclaimed data
    won't be written back to swap storage as it is considered uptodate,
    resulting in data loss if the page is subsequently accessed.
    
    Prevent this by copying the dirty bit to the page when removing the pte to
    match what try_to_migrate_one() does.
