Naoya Horiguchi 78bb920344 mm: hwpoison: dissolve in-use hugepage in unrecoverable memory error
Currently me_huge_page() relies on dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() to
keep the error hugepage away from the system, which is OK but not good
enough because the hugepage still has a refcount and unpoison doesn't
work on the error hugepage (PageHWPoison flags are cleared but pages are
still leaked.) And there's "wasting health subpages" issue too.  This
patch reworks on me_huge_page() to solve these issues.

For hugetlb file, recently we have truncating code so let's use it in
hugetlbfs specific ->error_remove_page().

For anonymous hugepage, it's helpful to dissolve the error page after
freeing it into free hugepage list.  Migration entry and PageHWPoison in
the head page prevent the access to it.

TODO: dissolve_free_huge_page() can fail but we don't considered it yet.
It's not critical (and at least no worse that now) because in such case
the error hugepage just stays in free hugepage list without being
dissolved.  By virtue of PageHWPoison in head page, it's never allocated
to processes.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
