The patch titled
Subject: mm,hwpoison: return 0 if the page is already poisoned in soft-offline
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mmhwpoison-return-0-if-the-page-is-already-poisoned-in-soft-offline.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de>
Subject: mm,hwpoison: return 0 if the page is already poisoned in soft-offline
Currently, there is an inconsistency when calling soft-offline from
different paths on a page that is already poisoned.
1) madvise:
madvise_inject_error skips any poisoned page and continues
the loop.
If that was the only page to madvise, it returns 0.
2) /sys/devices/system/memory/:
When calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page(),
we return -EBUSY in case the page is already poisoned.
This is inconsistent with a) the above example and b)
memory_failure, where we return 0 if the page was poisoned.
Fix this by dropping the PageHWPoison() check in madvise_inject_error, and
let soft_offline_page return 0 if it finds the page already poisoned.
Please, note that this represents a user-api change, since now the return
error when calling soft_offline_page_store()->soft_offline_page() will be
different.
