Re: [PATCH stable-5.10] mm/memory-failure: fix an incorrect use of tail pages

[Liu Shixin]

Hi,

After backport commit c79c5a0a00a9 ("mm/memory-failure: check the mapcount of the precise page"),

I got an error message as written on the patch. The problem can be fixed by the patch or just revert.

Now I prefer to revert because I think it is related to folio and no impact in stable, or maybe I'm wrong.


Thanks,
