Hi,

I wrote a simple cleanup for parameter of soft_offline_page(),
based on thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/11/57.

I know that we need more cleanup on hwpoison-inject, but I think
that will be mentioned in re-write patchset Oscar is preparing now.
So let me shared only this part as a separate one now.

I think you should rebase that patch on linux-next (where the
pfn_to_online_page() check is in place). I assume you'll want to move the
pfn_to_online_page() check into soft_offline_page() then as well?

I rebased to next-20191016. And yes, we will move pfn_to_online_page()
into soft offline code. It seems that we can also move pfn_valid(),
but is simply moving like below good enough for you?

At least I can't am the patch to current next/master (due to
pfn_to_online_page()).

Could also be that my "git am" skills failed as the mail was not a
proper patch itself :)

Sorry for the inconvenience, my company email system breaks original
message by introducing quoted-printable format ('=20' or '=3D').
Most mail client usually handles it but git-am doesn't.
I give up using it and send via smtp.gmail.com.

-> this is now no longer possible! So you can drop the whole if
(is_zone_device....) case

OK, thanks. I updated it.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] mm, soft-offline: convert parameter to pfn

Currently soft_offline_page() receives struct page, and its sibling
memory_failure() receives pfn. This discrepancy looks weird and makes
precheck on pfn validity tricky. So let's align them.

If you pass in a PFN with MF_COUNT_INCREASED via mm/madvise.c, you would now no longer do a put_page(page) in case of ZONE_DEVICE (!page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);)

something like this

page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
if (!page) {
/*
* With MF_COUNT_INCREASED, we can use pfn_to_page() directly
* (esp., ZONE_DEVICE).
*/
if (flags & MF_COUNT_INCREASED)
put_page(pfn_to_page(page));
return -EIO;
}

For !pfn_valid(pfn), this is not relevant.

return -EIO;
