[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/hwpoison: fix page refcount of unkown non LRU page

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Fri Aug 07 2015 - 06:16:58 EST


After try to drain pages from pagevec/pageset, we try to get reference
count of the page again, however, the reference count of the page is
not reduced if the page is still not on LRU list. This patch fix it by
adding the put_page() to drop the page reference which is from
__get_any_page().
