[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/memory-failure.c: dissolve truncated hugetlb page

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Thu Apr 14 2022 - 07:49:27 EST


If me_huge_page meets a truncated but not yet freed hugepage, it won't be
dissolved even if we hold the last refcnt. It's because the hugepage has
NULL page_mapping while it's not anonymous hugepage too. Thus we lose the
last chance to dissolve it into buddy to save healthy subpages. Remove
PageAnon check to handle these hugepages too.
