[PATCH v2 1/4] mm/hwpoison: delete all entries before traversal in __folio_free_raw_hwp

From: Jiaqi Yan
Date: Fri Jun 23 2023 - 12:40:37 EST


Traversal on llist (e.g. llist_for_each_safe) is only safe AFTER entries
are deleted from the llist.

llist_del_all are lock free with itself. folio_clear_hugetlb_hwpoison()s
from __update_and_free_hugetlb_folio and memory_failure won't need
explicit locking when freeing the raw_hwp_list.
