[PATCH RFC 15/29] mm/migration: remove PageMovable()

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2025-06-18 17:41:04
Also in: linux-doc, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml, virtualization
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - memory policy and migration, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

As __ClearPageMovable() is gone that would have only made
PageMovable()==false but still __PageMovable()==true, now
PageMovable() == __PageMovable().

So we can replace PageMovable() checks by __PageMovable(). In fact,
__PageMovable() cannot change until a page is freed, so we can turn
some PageMovable() into sanity checks for __PageMovable().
