[PATCH v2] mm: hwpoison: adjust for new thp refcounting

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Fri Nov 06 2015 - 03:03:22 EST


Some mm-related BUG_ON()s could trigger from hwpoison code due to recent
changes in thp refcounting rule. This patch fixes them up.

In the new refcounting, we no longer use tail->_mapcount to keep tail's
refcount, and thereby we can simplify get/put_hwpoison_page().

And another change is that tail's refcount is not transferred to the raw
page during thp split (more precisely, in new rule we don't take refcount
on tail page any more.) So when we need thp split, we have to transfer the
refcount properly to the 4kB soft-offlined page before migration.

thp split code goes into core code only when precheck (total_mapcount(head)
== page_count(head) - 1) passes to avoid useless split, where we assume that
one refcount is held by the caller of thp split and the others are taken
via mapping. To meet this assumption, this patch moves thp split part in
soft_offline_page() after get_any_page().
