Hi luofei,

When you try to unpoison a hwpoisoned hugepage, you just have to pass the
pfn of the head page, not the pfn of raw poisoned subpage. Note that the
position of raw error page is not exposed to userspace (dmesg shows it, but
saving and parsing it for unpoison is not that useful) and the related
utilities like page-types only checks PageHWpoison flag to find error pages,
so it seems to me that you're introducing an inconsistent assumption.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
