do_migrate_range has been limiting the number of pages to migrate to 256
for some reason which is not documented. Even if the limit made some
sense back then when it was introduced it doesn't really serve a good
purpose these days. If the range contains huge pages then
we break out of the loop too early and go through LRU and pcp
caches draining and scan_movable_pages is quite suboptimal.
The only reason to limit the number of pages I can think of is to reduce
the potential time to react on the fatal signal. But even then the
number of pages is a questionable metric because even a single page
might migration block in a non-killable state (e.g. __unmap_and_move).
Remove the limit and offline the full requested range (this is one
membblock worth of pages with the current code). Should we ever get a
report that offlining takes too long to react on fatal signal then we
should rather fix the core migration to use killable waits and bailout
on a signal.

Or memory block is more accurate? May memblock confuse audience with
lower level facility?

Memory migration might fail during offlining and we keep retrying in
that case. This is currently obfuscate by goto retry loop. The code
is hard to follow and as a result it is even suboptimal becase each
retry round scans the full range from start_pfn even though we have
successfully scanned/migrated [start_pfn, pfn] range already. This
is all only because check_pages_isolated failure has to rescan the full
range again.
De-obfuscate the migration retry loop by promoting it to a real for
loop. In fact remove the goto altogether by making it a proper double
loop (yeah, gotos are nasty in this specific case). In the end we
will get a slightly more optimal code which is better readable.

filemap_map_pages takes a speculative reference to each page in the
range before it tries to lock that page. While this is correct it
also can influence page migration which will bail out when seeing
an elevated reference count. The faultaround code would bail on
seeing a locked page so we can pro-actively check the PageLocked
bit before page_cache_get_speculative and prevent from pointless
reference count churn.
