[merged] thp-fix-splitting-of-hwpoisoned-hugepages.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     thp: fix splitting of hwpoisoned hugepages
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     thp-fix-splitting-of-hwpoisoned-hugepages.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: thp: fix splitting of hwpoisoned hugepages
From: Jin Dongming <jin.dongming@np.css.fujitsu.com>

The poisoned THP is now split with split_huge_page() in
collect_procs_anon().  If kmalloc() is failed in collect_procs(),
split_huge_page() could not be called.  And the work after
split_huge_page() for collecting the processes using poisoned page will
not be done, too.  So the processes using the poisoned page could not be
killed.

The condition becomes worse when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM == "Y".  Because the
poisoned THP could not be split, system panic will be caused by
VM_BUG_ON(PageTransHuge(page)) in try_to_unmap().

This patch does:
  1. move split_huge_page() to the place before collect_procs().
     This can be sure the failure of splitting THP is caused by itself.
  2. when splitting THP is failed, stop the operations after it.
     This can avoid unexpected system panic or non sense works.
