That's because lists passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages. The migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate before returning by aaa994b3. [PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages() Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of pages by the callers of migrate_pages(). At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages. But the situation is changed. The compaction need to know the number of failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat This patch makes new rule for caller of migrate_pages to call putback_lru_pages. So caller need to clean up the lists so it has a chance to postprocess the pages.
