From 8d547ff4ac5927245e0833ac18528f939da0ee0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 14:25:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory-failure.c: move refcount only in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail page. This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e47d5e ("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page. When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes little sense. This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid testing.
