Patch series "mm: migrate: Fix page migration stalls for blkdev pages". This patchset deals with page migration stalls that were reported by our customer due to a block device page that had a bufferhead that was in the bh LRU cache. The patchset modifies the page migration code so that bufferheads are completely handled inside buffer_migrate_page() and then provides a new migration helper for pages with buffer heads that is safe to use even for block device pages and that also deals with bh lrus. This patch (of 6): Factor out function to compute number of expected page references in migrate_page_move_mapping(). Note that we move hpage_nr_pages() and page_has_private() checks from under xas_lock_irq() however this is safe since we hold page lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
