[PATCH v1] mm, hwpoison: enable error handling on shmem thp

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Tue Feb 09 2021 - 01:23:29 EST


From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

Currently hwpoison code checks PageAnon() for thp and refuses to handle
errors on non-anonymous thps (just for historical reason). We now
support non-anonymou thp like shmem one, so this patch suggests to enable
to handle shmem thps. Fortunately, we already have can_split_huge_page()
to check if a give thp is splittable, so this patch relies on it.
