This is correct correct code, so:

I recommend this wording instead:

* Returns:
* errno - if the page cannot be found/isolated
* 0 - when it has been queued or the page doesn't need to be migrated
* because it is already on the target node
* 1 - The page doesn't need to be migrated because it is already on the
* target node. However, attempting to store the node ID in the status
* array failed. Unlike other failures in this function, this case
* needs to turn into a fatal failure in the calling function.

Let's change the comment above add_page_for_migration(), to read:

/*
* Most errors in the page lookup or isolation are not fatal
* and we simply report them via the status array. However,
* positive error values are fatal.
*/


> err = add_page_for_migration(mm, addr, current_node,

...and let's replace the above line, with the following:

/*
* Most errors in the page lookup or isolation are not fatal
* and we simply report them via the status array. However,
* positive error values are fatal.
*/

And with that, I think the comments help a little bit more, in reading
through the code.
