From 2e6fa38aa2b092b3f96449851d5bf41dad87c6cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chen Yucong Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 10:42:28 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] hwpoison: fix the handling path of the victimized page frame that belong to non-LRU Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page frames that belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or non-LRU(unknown page state). In other word, the result of handling either of these victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY. This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to the "true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that action_result() can report more precise information("reserved kernel", "kernel slab", and "unknown page state") instead of "non LRU", especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing.
