[PATCH 2/4] mm: memory-failure: fix potential unexpected return value from unpoison_memory()

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Fri Jul 14 2023 - 23:17:28 EST


If unpoison_memory() fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag, return value
ret is expected to be -EBUSY. But when get_hwpoison_page() returns 1
and fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag due to races, return value will
be unexpected 1 leading to users being confused.
