You're again not explaining things right. The xchg isn't simpler in any
way. It just happens to be faster, esp. so on PPC.

If you maybe write that like:
if (time_after(jiffies, next_window) &&
xchg(&pgdat->numabalancing_migrate_nr_pages, 0UL)) {
do {
next_window += interval;
} while (unlikely(time_after(jiffies, next_window)));
WRITE_ONCE(pgdat->numabalancing_migrate_next_window,
next_window);
}
Then you avoid an indent level and line-wrap, resulting imo easier to
read code.
