    mm/migrate: allow migrate_vma() to alloc new page on empty entry · 8315ada7
    Jérôme Glisse authored
    This allows callers of migrate_vma() to allocate new page for empty CPU
    page table entry (pte_none or back by zero page).  This is only for
    anonymous memory and it won't allow new page to be instanced if the
    userfaultfd is armed.
    
    This is useful to device driver that want to migrate a range of virtual
    address and would rather allocate new memory than having to fault later
    on.
