[PATCH v1 4/9] mm: hugetlb: soft-offline: dissolve source hugepage after successful migration

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Thu Jun 01 2017 - 04:17:31 EST


From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently hugepage migrated by soft-offline (i.e. due to correctable
memory errors) is contained as a hugepage, which means many non-error
pages in it are unreusable, i.e. wasted.

This patch solves this issue by dissolving source hugepages into buddy.
As done in previous patch, PageHWPoison is set only on a head page of
the error hugepage. Then in dissoliving we move the PageHWPoison flag to
the raw error page so that all healthy subpages return back to buddy.
