[PATCH] [16/31] HWPOISON: return 0 to indicate success reliably

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Dec 08 2009 - 16:17:02 EST



From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@xxxxxxxxx>

Return 0 to indicate success, when
- action result is RECOVERED or DELAYED
- no extra page reference

Note that dirty swapcache pages are kept in swapcache, so can have one
more reference count.
