[PATCH] HWPOISON: check dirty flag to match against clean page

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Mon Feb 25 2013 - 13:11:56 EST


Currently page_action() does not check dirty flag to determine whether
the error page is "clean mlocked/unevictable LRU" page.
This doesn't cause any misjudgement because we do matching against
"dirty mlocked/unevictable LRU" just before the check.
But in order to make code consistent and/or to avoid potential regression,
we had better check dirty flag explicitly.

Dependency:
This patch depends on the patch "HWPOISON: change order of
error_states[]'s elements" which perhaps will be merged in v3.9-rc1.
