[PATCH 4/4] mm: hwpoison: handle non-anonymous THP correctly

From: Yang Shi
Date: Tue Sep 14 2021 - 14:37:46 EST


Currently hwpoison doesn't handle non-anonymous THP, but since v4.8 THP
support for tmpfs and read-only file cache has been added. They could
be offlined by split THP, just like anonymous THP.
