Reverse migration is used to do the balancing the occupancy of memory zones in a node in the system whose imabalance may be caused by migration of pages to other zones by an operation, eg: hotremove and then hotadding the same memory. In this case there is a lot of free memory in newly hotadd memory which can be filled up by the previous migrated pages(as part of offline/hotremove) thus may free up some pressure in other zones of the node.
