[PATCH 4/4] Check whether the new THP is poisoned before it is mappedto APL.

From: Hidetoshi Seto
Date: Wed Mar 16 2011 - 22:33:58 EST


If the new THP is poisoned after the 4K pages are copied to it
and mapped to APL, APL will be killed by kernel with SIGBUS signal.

There is not much doubt that it is a right behavior. But we can
do our best to reduce the impact of the poisoned THP to the least.

So add final poison check for the new THP before the THP is mapped
to APL. If check find a poison, back to 4K pages and trash the THP.
