  When migration failure in do_migrate_range() and then the
scan_movable_pages() will most likely return the same movable pfn.
In this case, there is no condition to bail out, they will
always run like this:

Bail out when migration failures reach 3 times.

Any hard coded failure retry limit will lead to premature failures. Have
a look at 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too
early"). A proper way to deal with this is to implement termination from
the userspace (e.g. timeout $TIMEOUT /bin/echo 0 > $PATH_TO_MEM/online)

Agreed; it's a bit more complicated when offlining is triggered by ACPI 
code :(
