[RFC PATCH v1 1/4] mm, hwpoison, hugetlb: introduce SUBPAGE_INDEX_HWPOISON to save raw error page

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Wed Apr 27 2022 - 00:29:04 EST


From: Naoya Horiguchi <naoya.horiguchi@xxxxxxx>

When handling memory error on a hugetlb page, the error handler tries to
dissolve and turn it into 4kB pages. If it's successfully dissolved,
PageHWPoison flag is moved to the raw error page, so but that's all
right. However, dissolve sometimes fails, then the error page is left
as hwpoisoned hugepage. It's useful if we can retry to dissolve it to
save healthy pages, but that's not possible now because the information
about where the raw error page is lost.

Use the private field of a tail page to keep that information. The code
path of shrinking hugepage pool used this info to try delayed dissolve.
