The patchset you sent seems to be a bit buggy and it is missing some things
my patchset contains, e.g:
static __always_inline bool free_pages_prepare(struct page *page,
unsigned int order, bool check_free)
{
...
if (unlikely(PageHWPoison(page)) && !order) {
...
return false;
}
Moreover, in page_handle_poison, you managed it wrong because:
static bool page_handle_poison(struct page *page, bool hugepage_or_freepage,
bool release)
{
if (release) {
put_page(page);
drain_all_pages(page_zone(page));
}
...
SetPageHWPoison(page);
page_ref_inc(page);
1) You are freeing the page first, which means it goes to buddy
2) Then you set it as poisoned and you update its refcount.
Now we have a page sitting in Buddy with a refcount = 1 and poisoned, and that
is quite wrong.
Honestly, I do not know how your patchset diverged so much from mine, but is
not right.
I will go over my patchset and yours and compare/fix things.
