Xu Yu b4e61fc031 Revert "mm/memory-failure.c: skip huge_zero_page in memory_failure()" 
Patch series "mm/memory-failure: rework fix on huge_zero_page splitting".


This patch (of 2):

This reverts commit d173d5417f.

The commit d173d5417f ("mm/memory-failure.c: skip huge_zero_page in
memory_failure()") explicitly skips huge_zero_page in memory_failure(), in
order to avoid triggering VM_BUG_ON_PAGE on huge_zero_page in
split_huge_page_to_list().

This works, but Yang Shi thinks that,

    Raising BUG is overkilling for splitting huge_zero_page. The
    huge_zero_page can't be met from normal paths other than memory
    failure, but memory failure is a valid caller. So I tend to replace
    the BUG to WARN + returning -EBUSY. If we don't care about the
    reason code in memory failure, we don't have to touch memory
    failure.

And for the issue that huge_zero_page will be set PG_has_hwpoisoned,
Yang Shi comments that,

    The anonymous page fault doesn't check if the page is poisoned or
    not since it typically gets a fresh allocated page and assumes the
    poisoned page (isolated successfully) can't be reallocated again.
    But huge zero page and base zero page are reused every time. So no
    matter what fix we pick, the issue is always there.

Finally, Yang, David, Anshuman and Naoya all agree to fix the bug, i.e.,
to split huge_zero_page, in split_huge_page_to_list().

This reverts the commit d173d5417f ("mm/memory-failure.c: skip
huge_zero_page in memory_failure()"), and the original bug will be fixed
by the next patch.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
