[PATCH v2 1/5] mm/hwpoison: fix fail to split thp w/ refcount held

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Mon Aug 10 2015 - 07:56:15 EST


THP pages will get a refcount in madvise_hwpoison() w/ MF_COUNT_INCREASED
flag, however, the refcount is still held when fail to split THP pages.

Fix it by reducing the refcount of THP pages when fail to split THP.
