[PATCH v2 4/9] mm, hwpoison, hugetlb: support saving mechanism of raw error pages

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Thu Jun 23 2022 - 19:52:47 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 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 pages is lost.

Use the private field of a few tail pages to keep that information. The
code path of shrinking hugepage pool uses this info to try delayed dissolve.
In order to remember multiple errors in a hugepage, a singly-linked list
originated from SUBPAGE_INDEX_HWPOISON-th tail page is constructed. Only
simple operations (adding an entry or clearing all) are required and the
list is assumed not to be very long, so this simple data structure should
be enough.

If we failed to save raw error info, the hwpoison hugepage has errors on
unknown subpage, then this new saving mechanism does not work any more,
so disable saving new raw error info and freeing hwpoison hugepages.

v1 -> v2:
- support hwpoison hugepage with multiple errors,
- moved the new interface functions to mm/memory-failure.c,
- define additional subpage index SUBPAGE_INDEX_HWPOISON_UNRELIABLE,
- stop freeing/dissolving hwpoison hugepages with unreliable raw error info,
- drop hugetlb_clear_page_hwpoison() in dissolve_free_huge_page() because
that's done in update_and_free_page(),
- move setting/clearing PG_hwpoison flag to the new interfaces,
- checking already hwpoisoned or not on a subpage basis.

ChangeLog since previous post on 4/27:
- fixed typo in patch description (by Miaohe)
- fixed config value in #ifdef statement (by Miaohe)
- added sentences about "multiple hwpoison pages" scenario in patch
