[PATCH 01/15] HWPOISON: Add page flag for poisoned pages

From: Wu Fengguang
Date: Fri Jun 19 2009 - 23:22:00 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hardware poisoned pages need special handling in the VM and shouldn't be
touched again. This requires a new page flag. Define it here.

The page flags wars seem to be over, so it shouldn't be a problem
to get a new one.

v2: Add TestSetHWPoison (suggested by Johannes Weiner)
v3: Define TestSetHWPoison on !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE (Fengguang)
