[PATCH 4.1 04/78] mm/hwpoison: fix fail isolate hugetlbfs page w/ refcount held

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 11 2015 - 19:10:46 EST


4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 036138080a4376e5f3e5d0cca8ac99084c5cf06e upstream.

Hugetlbfs pages will get a refcount in get_any_page() or
madvise_hwpoison() if soft offlining through madvise. The refcount which
is held by the soft offline path should be released if we fail to isolate
hugetlbfs pages.

Fix it by reducing the refcount for both isolation success and failure.
