[PATCH 3/3] HWPOISON, hugetlbfs: fix RSS-counter warning

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Wed Dec 05 2012 - 16:48:04 EST


Memory error handling on hugepages can break a RSS counter, which emits
a message like "Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88040abecac0 idx:1 val:-1".
This is because PageAnon returns true for hugepage (this behavior is
necessary for reverse mapping to work on hugetlbfs).
