mm, hwpoison: fix condition in free hugetlb page path
When a memory error hits a tail page of a free hugepage, __page_handle_poison() is expected to be called to isolate the error in 4kB unit, but it's not called due to the outdated if-condition in memory_failure_hugetlb(). This loses the chance to isolate the error in the finer unit, so it's not optimal. Drop the condition. This "(p != head && TestSetPageHWPoison(head)" condition is based on the old semantics of PageHWPoison on hugepage (where PG_hwpoison flag was set on the subpage), so it's not necessray any more. By getting to set PG_hwpoison on head page for hugepages, concurrent error events on different subpages in a single hugepage can be prevented by TestSetPageHWPoison(head) at the beginning of memory_failure_hugetlb(). So dropping the condition should not reopen the race window originally mentioned in commit b985194c ("hwpoison, hugetlb: lock_page/unlock_page does not match for handling a free hugepage") [naoya.horiguchi@linux.dev: fix "HardwareCorrupted" counter] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211220084851.GA1460264@u2004 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211210110208.879740-1-naoya.horiguchi@linux.devSigned-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@nec.com> Reported-by: Fei Luo <luofei@unicloud.com> Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [5.14+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
