[PATCH V2] MCE: fix an error of mce_bad_pages statistics

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Fri Dec 07 2012 - 03:48:59 EST


On x86 platform, if we use "/sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page" to offline a
free page twice, the value of mce_bad_pages will be added twice. So this is an error,
since the page was already marked HWPoison, we should skip the page and don't add the
value of mce_bad_pages.

$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep HardwareCorrupted

soft_offline_page()
get_any_page()
atomic_long_add(1, &mce_bad_pages)
